The requirement that a health center board be composed of health center patients and other members of the community selected for specific expertise yields a number of unique benefits. Health center boards are uniquely positioned to ensure health center services are specific to the needs of the communities and people served and build trust in the community. As board members, it is important to know that your voice matters in governance. This session will tackle the importance of speaking up and introduce various techniques for asking questions during board and committee meetings.

Learning Objectives:

  • Define different ways to ask questions including generative, strategic, and fiduciary questions
  • List questions they would ask about real-life governance scenarios
