Board Development Resources
Board members are an essential part of a well-run not-for-profit organization. How does your organization utilize these important volunteers and experts in your organization? Do you feel that you have a diverse and knowledgable board of directors? Is your board of directors engaged in fundraising, policy-setting, and fiscal oversight of your organization?
Donors are increasingly interested in organizational policies, such as ethics policies and conflict of interest policies, to see that the organization's goals and beliefs are in-line with that of the donors. Is your board engaged in setting those policies, values, and direction for your organization? EDA Consulting can help you to identify strengths and areas of growth for your organization's board of directors.
