Board Education

I like Susan because she can synthesize the different view points and complexities of our board – into simple and easy to understand pieces. She has been willing to have follow up calls to discuss points of confusion. She is a great facilitator and keeps folks on task during retreats.

Do all your board members understand their role? Do they have shared assumptions? Are you taking advantage of all their talents?

Each of your board members adds unique expertise and experience to your organization. One director may have extensive board experience, while another is new to the role. One may have experience in arts organizations, another in social services. One may be a lawyer, another a teacher.

You may have individuals in their twenties interacting with individuals in their seventies. They bring different viewpoints and skills to your board.

When your board members have a shared understanding of their role, there’s a lot less of the friction that occurs when members disagree. You can have civil, substantive discussions. Your  decision-making is based on agreed-upon parameters.

Our board education brings your unique individuals to a shared knowledge base. New member orientation, followed by regular board education around specific topics, is professional development for directors and trustees.
