Representative Board

A representative board is a smaller group of people chosen to make decisions for a larger organization as representatives of the particular constituencies or stakeholder groups who are affected by the larger organization's efforts.

What are some key problems that this process can solve?

Representative boards solve the problem posed by the limitations of a governance process to take into account every single person who is affected by the decision being made. Representative boards allow a smaller group to deliberate and decide on behalf of a larger group of affected people.

How does this process work?

Representative boards can are only representative bodies if the members "have been elected or formally chosen by a particular group or entity and are, explicitly or implicitly, accountable back to their constituency for the organization's decisions and success." (Source)
