Part one will focus on the linked article about the 4 Principles of Purpose Driven Board Leadership and what these mean in our boardrooms: https://ssir.org/articles/entry/the_four_principles_of_purpose_driven_board_leadership

• Purpose before organization: prioritizing the organization's purpose versus the organization itself.
• Respect for the ecosystem: acknowledging that the organization's actions can positively or negatively impact its surrounding ecosystem and commit to being a respectful and responsible ecosystem player.
• Equity mindset: committing to advancing equitable outcomes and interrogating and avoiding how the organization's strategies and work may reinforce systemic inequities.
• Authorized voice and power: recognizing that organizational power and voice must be authorized by those impacted by the organization's work.
