Board Orientation

Description

Board orientation is essential to the success and effectiveness of any Chamber of Commerce. It ensures new and returning board members understand their roles, responsibilities, and the Chamber’s mission, vision, and strategic goals.

A strong orientation helps:

• Align everyone on expectations – from governance and fiduciary duties to community leadership.

• Build confidence and engagement – so board members can represent the Chamber effectively.

• Foster consistency and accountability – by reviewing policies, bylaws, and ethical standards.

• Maximize impact – by connecting individual strengths to key initiatives and committees.

Ultimately, orientation equips board members to be informed ambassadors, strategic thinkers, and active contributors to the Chamber’s long-term success.
