Board Development
Excellence in board leadership is the cornerstone of successful nonprofits. There is no one-size fits all approach to board development, but there are some best practices individuals and nonprofits can embrace as a road to excellence. EDA Consulting will work with you to brain storm creative and innovative strategies that are tailored for your organization's needs.
Your board should ultimately serve your mission. You are not alone if you feel like your board is missing the mark because it serves as more of a social club or because it is overly involved in responsibilities that the staff should be managing or anywhere in between. Every organization's situation with board development is unique and EDA Consulting is able to provide a number of options and resources that can help your board blossom into the governing team that you have dreamed of. There are solutions to these problems that can work with enough planning and strategy.
Emily has participated on panels related to board governance and development specifically as a result of her experience and expertise in creating boards of directors from scratch. She is recognized in particular with her work as the Founder and Board Chair for YNPN (Young Nonprofit Professionals Network) San Diego. This unique experience has provided Emily with the opportunity to walk the talk. Be sure to ask her about this venture if you pursue board development consulting with EDA Consulting.

“Emily and I work together on the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network board. She is the best Board Chair anyone can ask for. She is committed, very efficient, and is an amazing and caring leader. Emily is an expert in nonprofit leadership issues and contributes to sector wide discussions on this topic. I have only known Emily for 6 months but in that short time she has developed a successful YNPN San Diego chapter and connected with many people in the San Diego nonprofit community -- she is truly an inspiration to me and to other emerging leaders in the nonprofit sector.”
