Dr. West hosts a monthly resource circle for board members, chairs and executive directors. In his work as a board coach and a non-profit capacity building consultant, West has identified a series of "Essential Conversations" that come up repeatedly in board training and consulting work. He has organized a 12-month learning cycle that helps boards professionalize their board culture and deepen their capacity to guide strategic impact.

Berrett-Koehler Publishing is Pleased to Announce,
The Culturally Conscious Board.
When a boardroom table is shaped for a deeper conversation, a deeper impact is sure to follow. The Culturally Conscious Board seeks to deepen board capacity by transforming board culture.
I'm really excited about the publication of The Culturally Conscious Board by Berret-Koehler Publishing (BK-Connection.com). My colleague Jennifer and I hope: Boards will work smarter, not harder. Leveraging board culture as a strategic asset deepens mission impact. In the book, we show how board life can be different. Please order a copy for the board leaders in your world today. We look forward to the conversations ahead.
