Excellence in the board room is a hallmark of successful organizations.
In the 2007 Governance Index, published by BoardSoarce, cheif executives AND board members rate "non-profit board performance as mediocre at best." The same report identifies five areas of board performance that need the most improvement:
- Fundraising
- Board recruitment
- Strategic planning
- Strategic leadership
- Board member participation
Our goal is to provide board members with the information they need to become more effective as board members, the skills to make a positive contribution to their board, and improve the functioning of the Board of Directors as a whole.
