TWO YEARS ago the board of Summit Pointe, a community mental health authority in Battle Creek, Michigan, began implementing Policy Governance. The board completed the drafting of its ends policies in the summer of 1998. But well before the ends policies were completed, the board implemented a comprehensive approach to monitoring its policies and its performance that it is following rigorously. Board Leadership asked the CEO of Summit Pointe to explain this monitoring approach and how it is working. In Carver on the Case (page 4), John Carver comments on it.
