Board Development and Volunteer Education

Building and sustaining a strong and effective Governing or Foundation Board, which can provide leadership and vision as well as work collaboratively with staff and volunteers to achieve institutional goals, is a major challenge for our times. 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 can 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 Board members;
• Effectively transition Board members after terms are completed.

Additionally we work with institutions to build strong volunteer programs that not only provide service to the institution, but also identify potential Board members and help develop those individuals to provide exemplary Board service.
