Nonprofit Leadership Center’s Post

Board meetings can be like family dinners. Somebody is always late. The crazy cousin always has a drama story. There is that aunt or uncle who always complains but rarely can offer a good solution. And the same person ends up doing the majority of the work. Two questions that we get asked a lot - really, what we hear many complaints about: How can I go beyond the “friends and family” board? How do I find, vet, and recruit board members who are thrilled to serve? If you are struggling with your board dynamic then this workshop is for you! Coming up LIVE on June 10th, Nonprofit Leadership Lab CEO, Glennda Testone will host a workshop with Melissa Madzel. We are answering these top two questions PLUS you’ll learn how to: move toxic board members out identify the needs and gaps in your current board create a practical plan to attract and vet new board members beyond your inner circle select a shortlist of potential board candidates convince your candidates to hop on board (pun intended!) recognize if somebody will be a good board member Take your workshop from frustrating to fantastic!

"Everyone is in sales. It's the only way we stay in business." Harvey Mackey's observation presents you with an opportunity to insure everyone in your organization, private, public or non-profit help to raise your profile. Here are a few tactics to use: * Ask colleagues for references to set joint meetings with their customers. * Attend other groups meetings at your firm or company. * Ask for prospect and industry research. * Send copies of your updated bios, business descriptions, articles, etc. to your internal contacts. * Evaluate specific community/NPO organizations to become active and gain leadership commitments for all co-workers. * Look to develop joint-selling opportunities with your colleagues. "Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can." - Arthur Ashe https://lnkd.in/gbtn_VFQ
