Maximizing Farmworker Involvement in

Board Governance

A LIVE WEBCAST PRESENTED BY:

Migrant Clinicians Network

SUMMARY

The

health and well being of the migrant and community health center ultimately

lies with the board of directors of the corporation. This presentation

discusses the interface between the clinical, governance and management of

health centers with a particular focus on the role of the board of directors.

Long the prevue of the Executive Director, identification of potential board

members has rarely extended beyond executive staff and the other members of

the board. However, clinic staff, particularly providers, may be excellent

sources for identifying interested and competent consumers that would be good

candidates. This session will discuss some of the challenges and strategies

for success in identifying and recruiting strong consumer board members. The

use of case-based teaching will provide real world examples of successful and

problematic recruitment of board members.
