Good governance is the linchpin to success for every non-profit.  Good governance requires the Board to understand its role, management to understand its role, and both the Board and management to work in concert.  Through interviews with Board members and management leaders, document reviews, and observation of your meeting practices, our Non-Profit Governance Check-up will identify the areas on which you need to focus and improve. 

"Fiduciary" ... "Governance" ... "Duty of Care" ... "Management"... "Conflict of interest"   We have all heard the words before, but do we know what they mean?  We have a series of training programs that can be presented virtually or in person on a variety of topics including:

• Board member roles and responsibilities, 
• Board member fiduciary duties/obligations, 
• Conflict of interest.

Your by-laws are the directions for how your organization operates.  Keeping them up-to-date, and assuring they afford the flexibility you need to address the changing world around you, are essential to assure your organization's future success.  We review your by-laws, interview your organization's leadership, and recommend revisions to keep you organization vibrant and flexible.

Every Board leader wants to be sure their organization is in good hands when their time as Chair ends.  For many, who succeeds them is more a matter of happenstance - or worse, "the last man standing."  Succession planning should be thoughtful, deliberate and ongoing.  We work with you to develop a leadership succession planning process that will assure your organization the quality leaders it needs into the future. 

Volunteer time is a precious commodity.  Use it wisely and your Board will be engaged and productive.  Waste it on poorly run meetings and your Board will drift away.  We work with you to develop the meeting material and format that will keep your Board members engaged and focused on your organization and its mission.

You don't just need  people around the table, you need the right people. Finding and recruiting the right Board members requires understanding the skills you need and identifying the prospects who have those skills.  We work with you to conduct a skills assessment and to develop a process to identify, recruit, interview and onboard the right Board members.

Do you focus on the color of your sails or the course you should be tacking? Successfully guiding your Board and organization requires focus on what lays ahead (i.e., governance) while making sure someone is managing the details (i.e., management).  We work with you on an individual basis assessing your strengths, giving you the guidance you need to maintain focus on your organization's success. 

Managing a meeting and leading a team are not typically innate abilities.  They are skills that we each acquire through observation and practice. We work with your committee chairs, either on an individual or group basis, giving them the tools to be successful in their role and, potentially, help them get on the leadership ladder. 

No relationship is as important as that of the Board Chair and the CEO.  Are you working together as a leadership team?  We work with you individually and together to guide you both to achieve the highest potential for your organization.
