BOARD TRAINING/GOVERNANCE

Good boards do not just happen; they take care, thought, and planning. Organizations with strong, active boards often spend significant time and attention on each part of the board building cycle and will continually consider how to strengthen their performance at each step of the cycle. The job of building a strong board is about being strategic in the way a board looks at its composition and its operations.

The Pheiff & Some team provides steps for your board to follow through the board development process, including:

- Identifying, cultivating, and recruiting prospective board members

- Orienting new board members

- Encouraging board members to become more active

- Educating the board about the organization's work and context

- Rotating out board members to make room for new skills and insights

- Engaging the board in a self-evaluation

- Celebrating the board's victories and successes
