Policy Governance Services

Brown Dog Consulting offers clients the benefit of Policy Governance expertise, strong facilitation skills, and friendly customer service. We’re results-oriented, fun, and love what we do!

Of course, Policy Governance is not a magic pill, but more like a journey. We can’t promise instant, long-lasting success after just one workshop! That said, Brown Dog Consulting would be delighted to provide clients with customized board governance services at any stage of this journey.
