Governance for Whom and for What. Principles to Guide Health Policy in Miami-Dade County

Abstract

This report discusses the principles of good governance as outlined by Carver (2002) and Pointer and Orlikoff (1999, 2002a,b) in their writings on nonprofit organizational governance. These principles highlight the primary role of the public (or 'owners') in governing a public enterprise and the importance of separating the board from management. To reinforce this separateness, the governing body must address two key questions: For whom are we governing? For what are we governing? The answers to these questions naturally lead the governing body to consider policies that can enable management to attain the organization's mission.
