Sharon Boesen Announced as CEO for the International Policy Governance(R) Association

WASHINGTON - The International Policy Governance(R) Association (IPGA) announced the selection of Sharon Boesen as their CEO.

“The IPGA Board is very pleased that we were able to find such a well rounded candidate as Sharon. After an extensive search involving both individuals and management firms, we felt that she possessed all the qualities that we needed in order to keep our organization moving in the right direction,” said Mike Conduff, President and CEO of The Elim Group, and Chief Governing Officer for IPGA.

A resident of Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., Boesen holds an MS in Marketing Management. She is the Vice-President at Tiber Creek Associates of Capitol Hill, Inc., the consulting firm hired by IPGA to manage and to provide additional support to the Board and membership.

“I’m excited to work with IPGA. The association has seen dynamic growth over the past ten years, and we will continue to provide excellent services to our members. I look forward to a memorable tenth anniversary year for IPGA,” Boesen said.

IPGA creates owner-accountable, effective governance through a model that ensures that boards operate successfully in their servant leader role. By using the Policy Governance(R) model, boards are relieved of daily pressures and can focus on big picture issues while the CEO and staff handle day to day operations within a pre-defined framework.

“This governance model provides leadership for boards of every size,” says Boesen. “The result is greater efficiency and profitability at every level.” The 2009 IPGA Conference will take place July 8th-12th in Montreal, Quebec.

The International Policy Governance(R) Association (IPGA) is an independent charitable organization formed in 1999 to create a forum for the nurturing of responsible governance and of effective, ethical governance consulting. The Association impacts the understanding, use and teaching of the Policy Governance(R) system and welcomes into membership boards using Policy Governance(R), as well as individuals or organizations who use or teach Policy Governance(R) or are interested in supporting IPGA and its purpose. IPGA is incorporated as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
