A constant question becomes, “How do we manage all of this demanding and changing information and honour tradition at the same time?” Bring the Best Forward! Bring the best practices, the spirit and the values that tradition provides and wherever possible incorporate them in today’s Council Management. Bring the Best Forward is a manual that offers leaders an opportunity to integrate traditional values with mainstream board practices.
