Board Development

Your Nonprofit Board of Directors is a group of volunteers who are not short on passion. But to govern effectively, your board needs to have knowledge of their legal obligations and how they are expressed in the roles and responsibilities by which they must govern. For instance, they need to be skillful and comfortable with 

     Policy Making and Legal Compliance

     Determining Strategic Direction

     Ensuring Adequate Resources, including fundraising

     Providing Financial Oversight

     Establishing and Communicating the Mission 

     Selecting, Evaluating and effectively Managing their relationship with the nonprofit’s CEO
