      <image:title>Our Services - How is Policy Governance® Effective?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Policy Governance® focuses on the long term goals of the organization; sets out the separate roles and accountability of the Board and staff (or volunteers); establishes clear policies for the organization that guide all Board decisions; provides a plan for directors, ensuring the Board does what it needs to do, and doesn’t spend valuable time on other tasks; is tailored to the unique characteristics of the organization. This is not a “one size fits all” approach to governance; provides Directors with comfort knowing that their legal responsibilities are being fulfilled; often results in Boards accomplishing more of the right thing in less time!</image:caption>
