Keep Your Board Engaged During Covid-19

Ensuring your board remains engaged during Covid-19 is critical.

Ongoing communication should be maintained to keep board members apprised of situations affecting your organization. The board should be kept informed on financial status, staff changes, additional service demands, and alterations to programming and events. Let them know how you and your team are personally coping with the challenge at hand.

Make sure your board is first in your communication chain so they’re not surprised with news they may hear elsewhere. On major decisions solicit board input before taking action.

As you develop plans for “what’s next” reach out to your board members for their advice. Get them engaged with determining how the organization will move forward.
