Governance and Strategic Planning Case Study
Science Society, 2008 to 2010
Initial Task: Assess how the organization needed to change the way it did business in order to achieve its vision and mission and remain a preeminent organization.
Key Results:
- Adopted modern bylaws by membership vote, which transformed governance by:
- Creating a new 16-member board of directors to nimbly govern the organization;
- Expanded its Council to oversee the future of the science;
- Adopted a new nominating process to ensure diversity, evaluate needed board qualities, vet performance, and train and develop future leaders;
- Completed a broadly participative strategic planning process to clarify goals and galvanize the member community; and
- Engaged a new CEO and new board-staff partnership to lead the change.
Post Change Evaluations:
- Surveys conducted in 2013 reflected increased satisfaction in both members and leaders.
- Leader quote: “The new structure has allowed us to act on and accomplish things we could not even imagine before the changes.”
