Board Governance Training and Materials

Most non-profit boards are under-performing, and yours might be too. It’s not a lack of engagement or enthusiasm for the work; they’re missing fundamental tools and education. After all, a high-functioning and well-equipped board doesn’t happen by chance - they need training and functional guidance.

To take a frustrated, directionless board that’s lacking support to one that is effective, forward-thinking and bolstered to perform, you need to give them the right tools. Having clear policies and bylaws, an active collection of subcommittees with defined responsibilities, and a training and succession plan guiding the professional development of existing board members and recruitment of new prospects are all vital.

A patchwork of documents, or guidelines that haven’t been revisited in the last ten years aren’t enough. You need to give your board clarity and confidence, and we can help.

Our experience and expertise can help you create a complete package of governance materials like:

• Committee terms of reference

• Board member evaluation frameworks

• Orientation and onboarding handbooks

• Any other guiding documents

Or, if you’re a brand new non-profit, we can write a full set of governing documents including your constitution, bylaws, board job description, terms of reference, and more to get you started out strong.

The way your board works is fundamental to your organization’s success. Give them the tools and training they need to help you reach those goals.
