This article fueled my contemplation on non-profits sharing decision-making power with those they serve and the most meaningful way to do so. Continuums tend to range from ignoring the community to deferring to them. In between, options range from tokenism to collaboration. The issues I struggle with include: having a community advisory board feels like silo-ing those voices from the board; suggesting having one or two clients serve on the board feels like tokenism (and can one or two people really represent the breadth and diversity of the community you serve? Should they be asked to?); and, how do we evolve the board to operate in a way that is welcoming to folks of diverse backgrounds and experience? The best part of this article for me was the Voltaire quote: Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Gratitude for the team Fairmount Ventures for always pushing our thinking around important topics like this.

The most effective, influential nonprofits are those that share the power to shape their strategies and approaches with their stakeholders, especially their beneficiaries. They’re also the organizations that recognize that sharing power doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing pursuit. It can be practiced on a progressive spectrum, which we call the Shared Power Spectrum. Learn more about it in this week's post. https://lnkd.in/ed9Ah_cH
