Board Agreement Power Tool
One of the biggest challenges in nonprofits is getting your board to take their role seriously. This means 1) attendance 2) due diligence, and 3) fundraising. Yet so many boards struggle with this. Board members “own” the nonprofit in the eyes of the law, but they usually don’t even work there. In addition, most boards don’t get the orientation and training they need to be successful. This can cause a disconnect and dysfunction. Enter…the “Board Agreement” – the single most powerful tool you can use in getting your board to perform. In this training, I show you the powerful and simple elements that are fundamental to building a rockstar board. If you attend live, you will get a free sample board agreement.
