Board Development and Training

Building and sustaining a strong and effective Governing Board or Foundation Board, which can provide leadership and vision as well as work collaboratively with your staff and volunteers to achieve institutional goals, is a major challenge. There are few components to successful advancement programs more important than engaged Board members with philanthropic capacity and a generous spirit.

Building a Board is a process of continuing growth and improvement which never ends. Our Consultants will provide you the necessary strategies, practices, and procedures that will help you:

  • Identify the characteristics of effective Board member prospects
  • Recruit and solicit for Board membership
  • Provide continuing education for your Board members
  • Effectively transition Board members after terms are completed
We also work with you to build strong volunteer programs that not only provide service to your institution, but also identify potential Board members and help develop those individuals to provide exemplary Board service.
