"Governance in Action: Building an Engaged,
Accountable and Mission-Driven Board"
This engaging session takes a fresh, practical look at board governance and what it really means to build an active, effective board. We’ll break down roles and responsibilities in a way that’s clear, realistic, and immediately useful, while exploring how board members can move beyond attendance to true engagement and leadership.
Drawing on a legal and estate planning perspective, Staci Pinion, Executive Director for the Pima County Bar Association/Foundation
will explore how strong governance supports charitable gift planning and helps boards better understand fiduciary responsibilities, their role as ambassadors of the mission, and how to lead by example to foster philanthropy. Participants will leave with actionable strategies to energize their boards, strengthen partnerships with staff and advisors, and build accountability that drives both current and long-term philanthropic support. Expect practical ideas, relatable insights, and a few “aha” moments along the way.
