ANC Director Guidebook Series

Three Practical Guidebooks for Governing Your Alaska Native Corporation
The most effective and successful Alaska Native Corporations (ANCs) are led by directors dedicated to putting aside self-interests, shareholder, regional, village, and family politics for a greater cause – their corporation’s mission. These guidebooks have been created to enhance the governance expertise and leadership effectiveness of ANC directors. They are written exclusively for Alaska Native Corporation directors based on Dr. Harvey A. Meier’s more than 45 years of experience in advising ANC boards in Alaska and privately-owned companies in the lower 48. In addition to facilitating his Director Training Course, attended annually by over 100 ANC directors, he travels to villages, facilitates board trainings and shows directors how to deliver wisdom and leadership in their boardrooms.

The three guidebooks cover these topics and many more:
• What your roles and responsibilities are as a director
• How to use Robert’s Rules of Order to keep meetings in order
• How to understand finances and financial statements — so you know if your money is safe and is being managed properly
• What the responsibilities and accountabilities are of your CEO
Learn to be well prepared to effectively perform your oversight and governance responsibilities:
• Enhance your director skills and leadership ability
• Improve communications in the boardroom
• Strengthen the Board & CEO partnership
• Plan for the future
