Note: This is the second of two articles on nonprofit boards. These pieces are intended not only for senior management of nonprofits but also by board members and other engaged volunteers and advisors. Read the first article here. Having sat through likely hundreds of nonprofit board meetings, I can’t help but see a number of very simple changes that can be utilized by nonprofit leaders to make those board meetings better. These 12 tips deal with various aspects of nonprofit boards, and all are simple and can be implemented fairly quickly and easily. Integrating these tips into your standards and routines for your Board and its meetings are sure to help your board members to be more engaged, enjoy the experience more, feel like their time sitting in that chair is/was worthwhile, and to feel like their participation actually has an impact on the health of the organization.
