Board Cultivation & Development

These are some of the board-related questions I consistently hear from nonprofit leaders and board members:

  • Is passion enough for our nonprofit board to succeed?
  • How do we find and retain committed, skilled board members who reflect our constituency?
  • What are board member roles and responsibilities, really? And how do we keep board members engaged once they understand their roles?
  • What does a healthy relationship look like between an Executive Director and Board President? Who does what, and how often should they communicate?
  • How do we build a board that is not only effective, but courageous?

These are the questions that get me excited about helping nonprofits cultivate and develop board members so they can fulfill their role in their organization’s success.

Board member performance is a vital ingredient in a nonprofit's ability to succeed.

Central to that is a clear understanding of the roles of the board and transparent systems of accountability. Without a healthy and effective board, their responsibilities fall on leadership and other staff who already have full plates. Through training, coaching, and consultation, I offer practical tools to increase the performance of a nonprofit’s board of directors in an effective and efficient way that produces results.

Strong board governance is not just about following bylaws. It’s about building a culture of accountability, shared purpose, and courageous leadership at every level of the organization.

Best for:

Nonprofits with boards that are passionate but underperforming, organizations navigating a strained ED-board relationship, and leaders who sense their board could be doing more but aren’t sure how to get there. Also, a strong fit for boards that are growing, transitioning, or rebuilding after a period of instability — including association and coalition boards facing similar dynamics.
