We’ve all been in boring meetings where staff talk at board members and assign them chores and board members give dry and uninspiring committee reports. What if we commit to fun, dynamic board-led sessions that board members love and that simultaneously accomplish great things for our missions? In this workshop for both staff and board members, we will examine and learn:
- How a small team can change transactional and lackluster board culture to a transformative board culture
- How and why staff and boards clash
- What is the proper (and improper) work and focus of nonprofit boards
- How to balance between governing, learning, planning and doing
- How to leverage the efforts and power of each board member and ensure everyone contributes
