A well-rounded, highly-engaged, resource-connected board is critical to the organization's long-term success. Make sure that you have the right people around your board table and that everyone is contributing to their maximum potential. It's an exciting challenge that can yield substantial outcomes for the organization.
This intensive and participatory workshop, led by an experienced member of A&BC's Board Consulting Program, will demonstrate that board recruitment is a team effort driven by knowledge, enthusiasm, and strategy. Organizations are encouraged to include both board and executive staff representation to maximize group and peer learning opportunities, which will be supported by experienced board members with expertise in board development initiatives.
At this workshop, you will learn:
- How to build your board around your organization's strategic priorities
- How to determine your ideal board makeup: Who is on your board? Who is missing?
- What kind of cultivation and communication will attract the right board members? How can you retain and engage current board members?
- How to engage inactive board members and the delicate conversation surrounding board member departure
