Creating Accountability on Your Nonprofit Board
Creating Accountability on Your Nonprofit Board
with Cindi Phallen
March 24th | 10:00 – 11:00AM CT
We need our board members to be fully engaged in our work and yet a common complaint is that board members aren’t all in. They may be absent, or silent, or off on a tangent or focused on the wrong things, and more. But what does engagement really mean? And can it be measured? Nonprofits have an interesting shared leadership model and it may feel awkward to hold board members accountable. But guess what – they want you to! They want to do a great job and support your cause. And it may be easier to do than you think. So let’s explore ways to set expectations that result in amazing participation with cause for celebration!
Key takeaways:
- Establish a vision for what a fully engaged board looks like
- Identify ways to measure success
- Outline communication strategies for accountability
- Commit to a simple action plan to increase board engagement
