Mark’s enthusiasm for governance and supporting the management/board relationship is inspiring! He saves us time and energy by bringing examples from his years of experience helping groups like ours. The collaborative nature of the consulting co-op is a huge benefit as well; Mark will often check with colleagues to bring insights and guidance from other experts in addition to his own.
