Fundamentals of Effective Governance

Fundamentals of Effective Governance: Duty of Loyalty, Conflicts of Interest, and the Role of the Health Center Board. Every board member owes the health center a duty of loyalty. Specifically, every board member must act in the best interests of the health center and not in a manner that furthers personal interests at the health center’s expense. Impartial decision-making is critical for effective health center governance and identifying and managing actual and perceived conflicts of interest is key to this process. During this training the presenters will discuss the basic legal responsibilities board members have as stewards of Health Center Program grant funds, as well as potential pitfalls commonly faced by governing board members, with a focus on conflicts of interest and confidentiality.
