A board of directors is critical to keeping a not-for-profit focused over the years as it grows. But how do nonprofit boards change over time? In the early stages, they tend to be entrepreneurial and play an active role in day-to-day operations. As organizations mature, they usually add members who are wealthier and more influential, often with specialized expertise. They also typically add committees and shift to setting strategic objectives and dealing with governance issues, such as audits. To help ensure your board remains open to new ideas and perspectives, ask board members to agree to serve limited terms.https://bit.ly/3xKWjIA

Helping nonprofit, cooperative, and school boards be better through world class training, facilitation, strategic planning, and guidance - Multiple award winning leader, board member, and social entrepreneur.
Top three things nonprofit boards don’t do that they should: 1) Properly oversee and direct their CEO. This is the board’s one staff member and they need to be both held accountable and given proper broad guidance and success measures. 2) Undertake strategic planning and monitoring. Strategic planning helps to define long term success which is essential for every organization. But while most organization have plans, boards are frequently not monitoring them properly. 3) Review their governance practices. Boards en masse do things how they’ve always done things. But board should ask: do we have the right committees? Are we meeting with the right frequency? Do we get the best reporting and info? What would you add to the list or are there key tasks that boards do even less well?

When is the last time your board had a discussion about how it does its work? If yours is like the vast majority of boards, your answer is probably "um... never?" Put it on a future agenda, or if you have a Governance Committee, assign it to them! And check out these great resources from the Reimagining Governance Lab and the Ontario Nonprofit Network to help kick start the conversation.
