Building a strong board is not a question of luck.

People have time to give. They don’t have time to waste.

We know leaders need to understand their roles and responsibilities and have the authority to carry them out. They need options for involvement, structures that support them in their governing functions, and tools for effectiveness and accountability.

Building a strong board is not a question of luck. It is the result of an intentional focus on recruiting, orienting, training, evaluating, and recognizing board members. We bring tools and a thoughtful and practical approach to groups that see effective governing leaders as a precious resource, informed by our own experiences as board leaders.
