Advice for Building a Strong Board

Our organization is looking to expand our board of directors. We currently have 2 with light involvement. We are seeking advice on basic board composition questions from someone with a background in nonprofit governance, board work, and/or recruitment.

During this Session, I’d like to discuss:
-Keeping board engaged, and board communications
-Should we utilize a ‘working board’ or ‘governing board’ model?
-What skills should we recruit for?
-What should the minimum and maximum term lengths for board members be?
-How do we create healthy, long-lasting board relationships?
