Board Development

We help transform board leaders from well-intentioned supporters to engaged stewards of the life and mission of an organization. There are very few times when leaders join a board who know intuitively how to make an impact. The process to gain and assimilate new board members is one of greatest challenges in organizations. With our help, board members will better understand their role and by assessing their skills and passions, help them chart a course to serve with clarity. High-functioning boards have processes in place to maximize the impact of every board member and make them feel valued.

Most-often used for new organizations, but also helpful for boards that need new inspiration, we will meet with a leader or leadership team to develop the structure for your board. We walk through an exercise that considers the core of your organization and the types of individuals you need on the board to create a healthy organization. The outcome of this meeting is a clear understanding of core basics for your organization and a plan on how to develop your board as a team that actually creates solutions for some of your biggest pain points.

We meet with organizational boards and refine the scope of their efforts. The majority of people serving on boards genuinely want to make a difference or have an impact on the organization they are a part of. This process helps to define the profiles needed in your organization and create meaningful guidelines to fully utilize the skill sets each board member brings to the group. Once the organizational profiles are created, we work to creatively fit the pieces of your organizational leadership together. This results in compounded synergy and a genuine understanding of each person’s role and responsibilities.
