Board Development for Nonprofits with Xanthus Consulting

The board chair and executive director relationship can either be one of close partnership or one filled with frustration. I’ll never forget an early executive director experience I had. I knew the board chair and I both had the organization’s best interests at heart, yet we couldn’t seem to agree on strategy or priorities. I wish I would have known then what I know now.

Improved mission re-alignment, board engagement, financial position, and organizational stability are just some of the results you can expect, setting the stage to build capacity.

At Xanthus Consulting, we can help with board governance in the following ways:

Assessments
Board development
Mentoring
Retreat and meeting facilitation
Succession planning
Strategic visioning

Board Development Power Up

A 90-minute session to help you create your annual board development plan!

Your board of directors plays an integral role in your organization’s success. However, keeping your board members engaged and on track while they tackle their critical responsibilities can be challenging. With a plan to create meaningful conversations focusing on governance and leadership development, your board can become more active and effective.

Creating a board development plan each year can help set clear expectations and goals for the entire board. A plan helps focus your board’s efforts, provides direction for members, and keeps progress on track. Plus, it helps ensure that all board meetings are productive and well-run by having specific topics discussed at each meeting.

Our Board Development Power Up session provides a 90-minute Zoom session with you and your board chair or your governance committee to create an annual development plan tailored to your organization’s needs. We’re here to provide you with a helping hand. Together, we will ensure your board has a plan to smoothly and effectively develop to its full potential!
