IS YOUR BOARD BEING USED EFFECTIVELY?  Many organizations fail to use their board as an effective component for growth.  Their boards become an underutilized asset.

We offer a variety of services to help your organization including assessing your board’s strengths and weaknesses, conducting board orientations to get started on the right path, and conducting strategic planning sessions to chart a new direction.

Board Assessment
Working closely with your directors and top leadership, we will prepare a confidential, in-depth analysis of your board and its governance.  Our assessment will provide you information about:

  • Your board's specific strengths (and weaknesses).

  • How your board compares on key national board medians and benchmarks.

  • Ways your board can work with management to be the strategic asset your organization needs.

  • Targeted board improvements that will deliver better governance value, in less time and with less effort.

  • Practical boardroom ideas that you can start putting to work immediately.

Our work will identify steps to implement value-added governance and to ensure effective execution of those recommendations. 

Board Orientation
To get your board get started on the right path, Fremont will:

  • Provide the basic start-up training to your board of directors and internal staff

  • Develop an annualized governance calendar

  • Create an interim version of the governance manual

  • Follow up with the Board Chair and CEO for one year to assist in implementation

Board Planning Sessions
High performing boards are made up of people, strategies, structure and goals. When fragmented, performance is limited; when aligned, performance is maximized.  Fremont can be engaged to design and facilitate Strategic Planning sessions. 

Let us help your organization develop its leadership and Board of Directors to reach a greater level of success.

"Fremont immediately came to mind when we decided to do a capital campaign for our new building.  With their successful track record and reputation for integrity, we had high expectations and weren't disappointed.  They did the campaign in five months and exceeded our goal by $1 million."
