I recently was interviewed by Wiley Publication’s “Board and Administrator” Editor Jeff Stratton in his article, “Boost Board Commitment With This Recruiting Mindset.” I discussed with Jeff the all-to-common disconnection between CEO expectations and board members they are working to recruit. Can you relate?
Every day dedicated nonprofit professionals are working to help those who have suffered misfortune, aiding victims in need of care, and finding solutions to someone else’s problems.
Volunteers who sign up for involvement in a nonprofit or an association are anticipating a positive experience.
Board member performance is the subject of frequent frustration and criticism by nonprofit leaders.
The symptoms of my health scare were low energy and being constantly tired. The cause was an artery with 99 percent blockage. The correction was insertion of a stent. The results: amazing. This experience has helped me see the parallels between a heart’s relationship with the body and a board’s relationship with the nonprofit it supports.
