“How do we recruit and develop the board we need” with Rob Harter

Hello! I had a really great conversation with Rob Harter on the Nonprofit Leadership Podcast that I’m excited to share with everyone.

We talked about board recruiting and board orientation, two areas where I think nonprofits tend to fall down the most when it comes to their board. Get these things right, and the board is in a good position to flourish.

We discuss the different kinds of board members and why not everyone needs to be a “rock star” to still have a high-functioning board.

We also dive into term limits, why they are beneficial, and how to start thinking about them if you don’t have them yet.

Enjoy the episode!

Erik is an absolute joy to work with. He took the time to understand our organization and board dynamics weeks before the retreat and gave everyone the opportunity to voice their thoughts on retreat priorities and objectives. He even made time to talk to any staff or board member one-on-one, anonymously, to be sure that any behind-the-scenes concerns would be addressed. At the retreat itself, he was an excellent facilitator that helped us to lead ourselves through our visioning and next-step process. His recommendations came from deep experience and helped us to streamline and reimagine how we operate both logistically and in service of our mission. I can’t recommend him enough.
