Board Recruitment
How is board member recruitment working?
Have you searched the city but had little success finding "good" members?
Did the organization start with three founding members who saw the vision, and now it is time to grow, but you don't know how?
This one-day course will show you how to recruit and retain engaged board members. Being an active participant on the board of directors is not an option, it is a requirement.
​
When members "check out" it is usually because there is no strategic process in place or the process is not functioning properly. Experience and training have taught me that you cannot simply ask a person to serve on your organization's board of directors, you must develop a relationship with a prospect, ensure there is alignment in your needs and their desire to serve; then set them up for success!
