All the board members.

Both board chairs and ED/CEOs can be remarkably frustrated with board members — and sometimes wonderfully surprised when all the ducks are in a row. Board members need to understand their roles, as do the Chair and the ED, but real effectiveness comes through great relationships, not black and white role definition. We can help clarify what board membership truly means, the power it holds, and how necessary board members are to the health, stability, and sustainability of your mission. Seating and supporting functioning committees, designing energizing board meetings, engaging all members, and turning members into ambassadors and advocates are topics we’re ready to tackle with you. We’re BoardSource certified as a Board Trainer and would welcome the opportunity to walk with you and your board toward more effective (and enjoyable!) interactions that move the mission forward.
