Workshop: Ten Steps to Creating a Board Development & Recruitment Program

Session Details

This session will address the problem of having an ambiguous, non-existent or unofficial board development & recruitment program. We will address this problem by outlining 10 steps and tactics to making board development not only a priority but also a true, consistent, and intentional program. This will help to provide a tangible framework that can be easily implemented by organizations and their leaders. In addition, utilizing a rubric, participants will also be able to identify and learn their organization’s score in board development effectiveness. This session will be very interactive as we will be conducting both large and small group activities. This session is designed for executive directors and CEOs.

Objectives:

Participants will learn how to implement or improve a board development program that can easily be executed in a robust way with fidelity within just a few months. This will include a process for key staff leadership as well as board leadership.

Participants will leave the session with tangible applicable information that will help them with the defining and navigating of the process in creating a board development program.

Participants in this session will also learn tactical practices and soft skilled approaches that can be utilized when creating an intentional board member recruitment program with existing board members that may be slow to change or resistant to change.

Utilizing a rubric, participants will learn where their organizations rate in multiple categories and overall, in board development.
