BOARD DEVELOPMENT
Strong nonprofit boards help organizations stay focused on mission and support leaders in making sound decisions about the future. We work with boards and organizational leaders to strengthen how the board understands its role and how members work together in service of the organization.
Tailored for each board & focused on what matters
This work is customized to the questions and challenges in front of the board and can help create greater clarity, alignment, participation, and shared responsibility among board members and organizational leadership.
An integrated approach to development
Facilitated Retreats
A space outside of regular meetings allows for deeper reflection, an even playing field for each voice, and relationship building among members. We work with you to design and facilitate custom retreat experiences.
Leadership Conversations
Meant for members who set the tone of the organization. Leaders can maintain a healthy confidentiality enabling candid communication. We provide succession planning ensuring future leaders are prepared for new roles.
Strategic Planning
Supporting board ownership and alignment, strategy sessions prepare the organization to prioritize, measure progress, and walk away from meetings with actionable items. We facilitate these meetings with topic guidance, data reporting, and execution.
Focused Board Training
Training standardizes expectations, directly addresses knowledge gaps, and develops practical skills in governance and management. Nonprofit boards play an extremely important role in the success of a nonprofit organization.
