Good Governance Is a Choice ─ A Way to Re-create Your Board-the Right Way

Good Governance is a Choice is a book about, and for, boards of public and non-profit organizations. Its central focus is on public school boards, but the governing model it introduces, Coherent Governance , is applicable to any board of any type. The model offers a process for boards to control operational decisions without making them, allowing them to spend the dominant part of their time on what matters.

Randy Quinn and Linda J. Dawson co-founded the Aspen Group International in 1993 following careers that combine to total over 65 years of service to education and other non-profit boards. They have since consulted with boards in most of the 50 states and others on three continents, including the countries of Morocco, Singapore, Korea, Borneo, Canada and Mexico. Their careers of work with governing boards have provided the basis for this insightful and provocative challenge to traditional governance and leadership customs.
