In Trust magazine: Accrediting 'commandments' and taking the initiative to innovate

 
In the Autumn issue of In Trust magazine, you’ll find a variety of informative articles to help you in your work, including:

REMARK(ABLE):
Thoughts worth considering

Remark(able) is a feature in In Trust magazine that provides thoughts for reflection for theological school leaders. This is from the Autumn issue.

“The president is a critical partner in building a strong board, but the president’s involvement is not a substitute for the board’s attention to its own readiness to govern well. Whether recruiting, orienting, or educating board members for more effective and faithful service, responsibility for making it happen rests with the board.” – From the In Trust Center’s Wise Stewards Guide

Reflective question: How does your board invest in its own development?
