I am on one board that has an executive session at the end of the agenda for every meeting. We occasionally talk about sensitive issues, sometimes about board development, and often don't have anything, but having it on the agenda takes away any alarm that might be implied by having an executive session. No matter how good the ED-board relationship is, it's important to remember that they are different roles. Your myth about the budget is absolutely right. Governing requires looking into the future and thinking about big picture financial questions, not details of expense line items.Kate Barrhttp://www.nonprofitsassistancefund.orgnoreply@blogger.com
