| Especially For NonProfit Organizations |
Nonprofit boards work hard; they work with heart. Their board members strive to support the nonprofit organization and to contribute valuable time and skills. Unfortunately, it can take new board members months to get up to speed on what it is that they can offer. The steep initial learning curve is frustrating for the board member wanting to have an impact. And it´s a loss for the nonprofit organization depending on their leadership. There is a way to break this cycle. Ask yourself the following questions. What´s your vision? You know your organization's vision and purpose, but what's your vision for your board? What do you want your nonprofit board to do?
Having a clear vision for your board is the first step. How are you going to take them there? If you are like many nonprofit organizations, the mission-driven work you do in the community takes all of your time and energy. You want your board to function to support you rather than requiring constant support themselves to function. Ideally, you and your board stay fired up, without burning out. How can we help? DaVinci Resources customizes each program to your needs. We spend time with your CEO and Leadership Team to understand what you want and need from your board. We spend time with your most successful past and present board members to understand what they are doing right. Then we design a program, often a combination of board retreats, team and individual coaching, and self-study materials to bridge the gap between your vision and your board´s current competencies. We go beyond the information and build the relationships between you and your board, and among the board members. We help your board to achieve your vision for them, and theirs for themselves. Please feel free to call us for a free initial consultation. We´ll answer your questions about our process and help you evaluate whether working with DaVinci Resources will take your board to the next level. Great Resources for Nonprofits:
