For more than three decades, we have studied, informed, and encouraged boards and other leaders in theological education. Based on this experience, we have identified six essentials for exemplary board governance. This page provides an aggregate of resources and articles for each of the six core essentials to help your institution’s board in its ongoing development. The resources under each essential take a deeper dive into the themes and key learning areas complete with supplemental resources and important questions for boards to ask around key topics. To read full descriptions of the six essentials and discussion questions for each, visit the Wise Stewards Guide, also linked below.
