Models of governance
Governance theories or models can be very helpful for trustees in understanding their responsibilities and the pros and cons of different governance arrangements.
Some models focus on the role of the board and its relationship with staff.
Some models focus on the membership of the board.
Models and theories of governance should be taken as general ideas or approaches rather than set methods of governance.
