Cost:

The cost for the workshop is $425 per person, which covers appropriate meals, morning and afternoon breaks, facility/AV use and meeting materials.

Special Offer:

We have had several people ask if we are offering a ‘group discount’ for multiple attendees from one organization. Because of the way our registration is set up, it’s difficult to provide a discount off the Workshop price of $425. However, here are two special offers, depending on your situation:

If you are part of an organization we are currently supporting with a support agreement::
-Send two or more people to the workshop, and we will add an extra month of support for each additional person (over one)
-This is equivalent to $95 per person, which equals more than a 22% discount off the $425 workshop rate.

If your Board is considering becoming a Policy Governance Board:
-Send two or more people to the workshop, then sign a two year training/support agreement by February 1, 2018, and we will reduce the total price by 2% for each person who attends (over one)
-Our normal retail price is $10,000. So the discount is equal to $200 for each person (over one) who attends the Workshop. That’s a 47% discount per person off the $425 workshop rate.
