[Webinar] Learn how to get your nonprofit board on the same page

Imagine this scenario: Arguments among board members are creating turbulence for a nonprofit board. The tension is causing some members to consider quitting. The source of the conflict is intense disagreement about the board’s mission. The chairperson pushes for a high-profile gala to attract wealthy donors, arguing that increased funding will secure the nonprofit’s future.

Meanwhile, a new member insists that resources should be directed toward expanding direct services for the community. A third member, a corporate executive, suggests forming partnerships with large businesses, but other members worry this could compromise the nonprofit’s values.

As debates intensify, the board chair realizes the board is prioritizing personal visions over the mission. Without board members’ mutual understanding and agreement about the mission and vision, the organization risks losing its sense of purpose.

So, how can board chairs and administrators foster better collaboration and ensure board members are working toward the same goals? Find out by attending our webinar “Getting your nonprofit board on the same page”, hosted by Dottie Schindlinger, executive director of Diligent Institute:
