Board Assessments
A board assessment provides the self- reflection boards need to evaluate their effectiveness, celebrate their strengths, and address any board development opportunities.
Board Role, Composition & Structure
Nonprofit boards need individual board members with the community connections, qualities, personal style, and expertise to accomplish their work and need an effective structure, including committees, to leverage what individual board members bring.
Strategic Planning
A high-impact strategic plan is owned by the organization’s key stakeholders; guides decision making, programming and activities; and is monitored and updated regularly to stay relevant.
Chief Executive Role, Performance & Compensation
High-performing nonprofit CEOs and Executive Directors (EDs) understand what the board expects, have confidence that they are being paid competitively, are well-equipped to perform their role, and have build a strong partnership with the board.
Board Retreats
A board retreat provides the board with the time and space to focus on long-term, strategic issues that may not receive adequate attention in regular board meetings.
New Board Member Orientation
Effective onboarding of new board members starts with an orientation session early in their tenure, continues with ongoing support, and results in board members who are able to contribute to the organization much more quickly and with more confidence.
