Nonprofit Trustees

Board members are often enthusiastic volunteers who want to help but don’t know how. So they drift from their attention on fundraising to the operations of the organization. The staff gets upset and the Executive faces redirecting their focus - Tricky when the Board is the Executive’s boss!

Is your Board Chair skilled enough? Does your board chair know how to evaluate the executive, motivate board members and recruit a diverse and skilled board?

Board trustees benefit from exploration and clarification of:

• The balance between money and mission

• Effective staff and volunteer motivation

• Maintaining ethical standards of programs

• Accountability measures

• Governance vs operations in understaffed or new organizations

• Ethical fundraising

• Legacy needs and goals

• Effective and appropriate leader evaluations
