Liberating Gov. For Our Times

When we think about liberating governance we often feel stymied by feeling we have too much on our plates already; that we haven’t the time to imagine, let alone implement, liberating changes. What if the path to liberating change is made of (or at least begins in) small steps? Before considering larger scale shifts to governance systems let’s explore some relatively simple ways to free up and/or affect the quality of time in board work – both within and outside of formal meetings – to create head and heart space for deeper reflection and discernment around missional goals and comprehensive, liberating change.
