Board members are part-time amateurs overseeing the work of full-time professionals which, by definition, takes a certain amount of hubris.

The governing body that holds ultimate accountability for your organization is comprised of volunteers. These leaders—trained and untrained—have a professional job to do and sometimes need help in assessing or enhancing their effort. With an approach rooted in best practices, we can help your board—and board members—better appreciate and execute their responsibilities.
Perhaps your board needs clarity about its role or guidance in adjusting board, committee, and staff functions to reflect organizational capacity. Perhaps it’s time to evaluate board performance and convene the board for a planning retreat. Perhaps you need new board members or plans for officer and/or executive succession.
