6 Strategies to Boost Your Board’s Performance
Noon - 1:30pm
ZOOM Webinar: $50
About this session: BoardSource’s leading national survey on nonprofit governance finds that boards earn on average a B- in overall board performance. Most boards are mediocre, at best. Many others are failing the organization and its mission completely. It shouldn’t be that way. There are several high-impact strategies that nonprofit executives and board leaders can immediately deploy to boost the performance--and thus, overall impact--of their board of directors. During this session, Rob will present six interventions to optimize the performance of your board right now.
These interventions fall into three key categories:
a) driving enhanced board member contribution and leadership,
b) better use of board meetings, and
c) a strengthened culture of board engagement.
At the end of this session you will have immediately employable strategies to boost your board’s performance. You will learn strategies for:
1. Increasing board contribution and leadership
2. Creating more engaging board meeting agendas
3. Strengthening the culture of board engagement
Who Should Participate: Organization leadership and board members are encouraged to attend as a team!
