Our model is simple: We support exceptional governance by developing leadership in the boardroom. We focus on getting the right people, doing the right things, using the right tools, to get the right result—allowing volunteers to spend more of their time focused on meaningful mission-driven work. Governance Gal® brings together a team of professionals with diverse expertise, all under the strategic direction of Marie Stravlo, whose name is recognized across the association sector for trusted governance and consulting expertise. Together, the team supports associations in clarifying priorities, aligning governance with purpose, and building systems that sustain progress.
