BUILDING THE BOARD YOUR ORGANIZATION DESERVES
A 90-Minute Seminar for board and executive leadership
A weak board can hold back even the strongest mission. Strategy, fundraising, partnerships, and executive support all depend on effective governance. Recruiting board members is about building leadership capacity, not filling seats.
In this interactive 90-minute seminar, organizational leaders will explore how to shift board recruitment from a checkbox task to an intentional leadership practice. They’ll learn how to identify people ready to lead, build a culture that supports their involvement, and use mentoring to strengthen the board over time. The session will also examine why a strong board chair–executive director partnership is essential.
Attendees will leave with practical tools to help their boards move from a group of well-intentioned volunteers to a leadership team that drives the mission forward.
From Meeting Manager to Strategic Leader
BE THE BOARD CHAIR YOUR ORGANIZATION NEEDS
A 90-Minute Seminar for board and executive leadership
The board chair should do more than run meetings. Yet for many, the role begins and ends there. An effective chair sets the tone for how the board works, keeps its attention on the future, and helps members hold one another accountable. Without that leadership, even committed boards can drift into routine reports, unclear expectations, and decisions that never move forward.
In this interactive 90-minute seminar, current and incoming board chairs will examine their leadership approach and learn how to lead meetings that matter, strengthen the board–executive director partnership, develop other board leaders, and address disengagement and resistance. Attendees will leave with practical tools and one leadership practice they can put to work immediately.
Build the Future—On Purpose
THE READINESS CHECK YOU NEED BEFORE STRATEGIC PLANNING
A 90-Minute Seminar for board and executive leadership
Strategic planning does not create readiness. It depends on readiness. An organization needs enough leadership alignment, stability, clarity, governance discipline, and follow-through capacity to make choices and act on them.
In this interactive 90-minute seminar, board and executive leaders will assess five essential readiness conditions, identify the gaps that could derail planning and implementation, and determine what must be strengthened before the organization moves forward to create a strategy for its future..
