Making Sense of Governance Sponsored by AWSNA—Northern California Region
A One-day Workshop for Waldorf Schools with Jackie Henson & John Bloom
Location: San Francisco Waldorf High School
470 West Portal Avenue
Making Sense of Governance is an in-depth presentation of what good non-profit governance is, how it works, and the basic tenets and legal responsibilities of Boards of Trustees. With an awareness of the particular challenges of Waldorf Schools and spirit-based organizations, both Jackie Henson and John Bloom will address the important aspects of governance in the context of our schools’ stages of development. There will be ample time for dialogue and small group conversations. This workshop is designed for trustees, administrators, and teachers, especially faculty or collegechairs—all who concern themselves with the governance of the school. It is recommended that teams come from each of the organizations. This is a great opportunity to share knowledge, experience, and build relationships with other Waldorf schools in the Northern California region. Read more
