Board Development
As the Board Goes...
...So Goes the Organizaton
So many boards of directors struggle with financial and management responsibilities. Humane Logic Board Development workshops and consultations can help with how to maximize the board's time to bring in money, energy, support and new valuable board members. Behind every successful non-profit organization is a board that at some point had to make changes in order to achieve their goals. Learn how to attract board candidates with affluence and influence. Learn how to make board meetings both shorter and more productive. Find out what the newest thinking is in bylaw review, strategic planning and other issues important to fiduciaries.
Workshops can include methods of benchmarking and evaluating executive directors and individual board members, determining strategic direction for programs, and establishing financial strategies such as planned giving programs, major gift acquisition, and consideration of charitable gift annuities.
Each Board Development workshop is tailored individually for each customer. Some humane organizations are seeking a lecture-format workshop in which Humane Logic leads them through the process of increasing their organizationŐs capacities. Others are looking for a facilitator to mediate an organizational discussion about board direction and capabilities. In all cases, your Board Development workshop will be designed with your organization in mind.
