Jaffe Raitt Heuer & Weiss, P.C. recently hosted a Harvard Business School Alumni Not-For-Profit Leadership Collaborative meeting, featuring sought-after nonprofit consultant Susan Katz McFall. Jaffe CEO Bill Sider made the announcement.
Sponsored by Jaffe’s Not-for-Profit Practice Group, the seminar was attended by nearly 90 of the top Southeast Michigan leading nonprofits and their board chairs. Former General Counsel of the Kellogg Foundation Susan Katz McFall discussed nonprofit governance with topics including fiduciary, strategic and generative approaches. Additionally, the two-hour program included a panel discussion, a question and answer round, and Tony Rothschild, the CEO of Common Ground, also spoke about the success of this collaborative, nonprofit governance model, which provides a framework for nonprofit trustees and executives to govern more effectively. Panelists also included retired Hospice of Michigan CEO Dottie Deremo of The Deremo Group and James Bayson, chairman of the American Red Cross and founder of Business Consultants for Nonprofits.

Jennifer Miller Oertel. “I have seen in action the Governance as Leadership model presented tonight by Susan Katz McFall, and it encourages the best use of the valuable insights of the board.”
