If you are currently serving on a nonprofit board - or you’re joining one in 2018 - you most likely uncovered the basics in your due diligence.
You know you are legally liable for the organization. You’ve read the strategic plan, bylaws, financial statements and board member job description. You’ve met staff and other board members to get a sense of the company culture.
On our end, nonprofit leaders do our best to prepare new board members for a great term.
We identify people with the skills and attributes needed to advance the mission, ideally those who are already strong supporters. We put together manuals, discuss expectations, send out dates to remember and hold informative and motivating orientations.
Even after this great preparation, many board members become disappointed and frustrated during their term. I believe some of these problems can be avoided if these two questions are honestly and openly discussed before accepting the responsibility of board membership.
