Steering the Ship: How the Board Governs and Empowers the Chamber
The dedicated Washington County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors serves as the governing body for our organization. Here's how they navigate this critical responsibility:
- Charting the Course: The Chamber's strategic plan is established through collaborative discussions and informed decision-making, considering the current economic climate, member needs, and future aspirations. This plan outlines the organization's goals and priorities.
- Leveraging Expertise: Each board member's unique skill set is crucial in this process. Their insights from different sectors ensure that the strategic plan is all-inclusive, catering to the various needs of our membership.
- Passing the Torch: After finalizing the strategic plan, the Board entrusts the task of execution to the CEO of the Chamber. This approach helps the Board to concentrate on long-term vision and strategic oversight while allowing the CEO to translate the plan into actionable steps by making the executive decisions to best move the organization and community forward.
- Constant Dialogue: The Board and CEO have an effective and collaborative working relationship. The Board offers valuable guidance and support to the CEO, and in turn, the CEO keeps them informed about the progress made towards achieving the set goals. This approach ensures efficient execution of the strategies and enables the Board to modify the strategic plan if required.
In essence, the Board acts as the architect, meticulously designing the blueprint for success, while the CEO assumes the role of the builder, translating the plan into a thriving Chamber that benefits all our members.
