Synagogue Board Development
by Robert F. Leventhal
Thriving congregations need teams that have a shared leadership vision, clear board expectations and well-defined roles and responsibilities for the officers, the board and committees. They need to understand lay/staff boundaries.
In my book, B’yachad; Synagogue Board Development, and in United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism’s’s Sulam Leadership Curriculum we talk about how leaders can become more effective and strategic if they address key board plans. We focus on three.
- The Leadership Plan
- The Delegation Plan
- The Accountability Plan
