Ruth Melkonian-Hoover argues in today’s Capitol Commentary that a woman’s place is in politics. I am delighted that Dr. Melkonian-Hoover is teaching our daughter Tala comparative politics at Gordon College. A woman’s place is also in the seminar room!
Today is the first of two full days of serious preparation for the big change in October when I come to work for the Center for Public Justice full-time. This period of transition has been astonishingly busy, and I expect the next two months to get only busier.
My focus today is on the governance of the Center itself: the work of our board, and my relation to our board. I will review the board’s current governance policies and some correspondence about possible changes to those policies, consider some key ideas from Fredric Laughlin and Robert Andringa’s Good Governance for Nonprofits and Richard Chait et al.’s Governance as Leadership, and prepare for my first meeting as president with the board in late October.
