As a past governing board member, Dr. Boyer recognizes the joys and complexities governing board members experience every day. From routine matters to “hot issues,” being aware and understanding governance is a must for any effective board. The state and national school boards associations offer excellent events and training to orient board members to their roles and responsibilities. The roles of the Board and the roles of administrators are complex and sometimes differ from board to board. Dr. Boyer has developed a method of assisting local boards to be “the best they can be.” Through her unique facilitation style, she is able to guide board members to identify their needs, determine ground rules and develop a positive working relationship with their superintendent. Everyone knows the superintendent takes direction from the board, not from a single board member. However, to practice this can be complicated and difficult. Another challenge Boyer addresses is the difference between governance and administration.


Each facilitation is geared to your individual governing board needs and expectations. Eduhelp consulting Services provides for co-facilitators. In some cases, it is helpful to hear perspectives from both the administrative and governing board perspective.
