Building a Better Board: Recruiting Effective Board Members

Nonprofits leaders need a strategy to find and keep board members who: care about the cause, have the needed or missing skills, understand their role, and can commit time and resources. All too often, organizations settle for two or three of these desired qualities. This workshop will review key strategies around board recruitment and board member retention. It will deconstruct the process needed to build an effective and diverse leadership team that can work together to fulfill a collective set of responsibilities and help the nonprofit achieve its mission.

This training is targeted to Executive Directors, Development Directors, Board Chairs, and Board Nominating/Governance Committee Chairs responsible for recruiting effective board members. It will include engaging interactive elements and a robust Q&A. Growth for Good’s board job description checklist will be provided to all registrants.

Key Takeaways: 

• Determining what talents, skills and diversity need to be represented and recruited to have a healthy leadership team
• Step-by-Step tactics for a successful recruitment process
• Tips to writing and using a board job description for attracting strong candidates

This workshop will be presented by Claudia Zeldin, Partner at Growth for Good.
