Biography:

Thane Joyal has been consulting and supporting boards of directors since 2007. Based in Syracuse, NY, Thane brings a wealth of practical governance experience to her work and seeks to help her client boards and board members become effective assets to their organizations. The work of a board of directors occurs at many levels. The board not only holds the fiduciary responsibility for an organization but it also sets the leadership tone that creates the foundation for the organization’s culture. Board members must bring a blend of attention, curiosity and graceful professionalism to their work despite the very common human challenges that arise when we work in groups. Thane works to share, coach and foster the skills and practices that create excellence in leadership and organizational achievement.

Thane facilitated one of the best retreats I have ever been to. That retreat really brought this new group together, and we will now move on to some great and necessary work for our co-op. I particularly appreciated Thane’s flexibility which allowed us to take care of things that needed to be talked about.
