Board room reviews are an essential part of a company’s process for governance. It provides an opportunity for the board to assess whether its members’ skills and experiences are aligned with the strategic demands of the business. It also assists the board to discern its weak points and identify future opportunities for the board to increase its effectiveness.
The board of directors is the main control body for a company. It makes decisions that affect everyone, from employees to the shareholders. As a result, it is crucial that the board is in top condition to be able to function effectively. A peer-review of the board is one method to ensure it is in top form. These aren’t easy to conduct because they typically include a large element of criticism and require a skilled facilitation.
The Board Room and Speakeasy is located in the Del Prado Shopping Center, a strip mall in Novato. It’s a wonderful location. Munther Massarweh, the executive chef and owner (Rickey’s Restaurant and Scrumptious Occasions Catering, both in Novato) and designer Michael Brennan worked to re-create an upscale restaurant that could be found in the mid-century period of Kansas City or Chicago. The decor includes a trompe-l’oeil of bookcases that slide back to reveal the speakeasy.
