Building a Better Board

This guide offers ideas, insight and resources for Board Chairs or the staff coordinating the board of an association, club or non-profit – to help you invigorate your board, so that all members are engaged, fully participating, and the team operates at optimal capacity to help move your organization forward.

In this article, Raven Deerwater, Ph.D. and Trish Hudson, MPsSc (Melos Institute) explain that associations and other membership-based organizations need to empower their volunteers and volunteer leaders by strengthening and building their leadership capacity.

This brief checklist outlines some of the tasks your non-profit or membership organization needs to address to get the New Year off to a great start.

This article - intended for those who are new to board recruitment or looking to refresh an existing process – offers an overview of a 4-step board recruitment process to get you started.
