Non-profit organizations supply an astonishing array of services to Canadians, are responsible for organizing over a billion hours of voluntary work and employ 9% of Canada's workforce or 1.3 million people. In short, the "Third Sector" plays an increasingly critical role in today’s business environment. For these reasons, strategic policy development is critical; however, it is often relegated to the executive offices, with the Board typically “rubber stamping” the final document.

Policy development is one of the fundamental responsibilities of the Board of Directors. ABARIS Consulting can assist your Board in understanding its role and even the direction policy development should take within your organization. Please contact us for further information.
