About
This course was created by Chip Barder, who has been an international school educator for 45 years in 7 different countries including 22 years as a head. His passion for best practice in governance began in 1984 when he was asked to facilitate a board retreat at ISKL. Since that time he has worked with numerous boards and facilitated workshops on board governance. Most recently in cooperation with the boards of UNIS Hanoi and AIS Johannesburg, he has launched Governance as Leadership Training Institutes (GALTI) which are now annual events at those schools attracting well over 500 board members from Africa, Asia and the Middle East in the last 6 years.
