External Board Members said:

“Excellent, informative and hit on all the important topics”.

“This workshop ensures that external board members appreciate the unique complexities of university board governance and introduces all board members to principles and strategies for effective governance in that context. Highly recommended!”

“Cheryl’s command of the subject matter is deep with a broad understanding of many institutions’ governance model. She performed detailed research and analysis which provided added individual value to each participant. The format was very good and time allotted for questions allowed for more nuanced discussion and issues exploration. She is a leading voice on governance best practices”.

“This session should be a requirement for all newly appointed board members to any higher education board”.

A faculty board member said:

“I was expecting something superficial, in the line of a self-help guru, and with obvious pro-administration leanings. It’s true that if you come to this meeting with pro-union sympathies, you should be prepared to hear that unions are an impediment to good governance. But Ms. Foy is obviously highly experienced, did her homework, kept control over the proceedings, and spoke with great respect for academic integrity and its democratizing potential”.
