Best Practices: Practices are recommended methods – activities, processes and structures – associated with each Core Element. The order reflects a general sense of priority or sequencing of work.Lead: Circles allow you to consider whether the board or CEO/executive director has responsibility to lead in ensuring the particular Best Practice is achieved.
