Microboard Principles & Functions 

The key principle of a Microboard is that each person has the capacity to express their will and preferences in some way.  As a result, each person can be involved in directing their life and taking charge of key decisions with the support of others.
​
The three key functions of a Microboard are to nurture freely given relationships, to offer support to decision-making and to maintain formal legal governance and accountability structures.
