Three Tips for Energizing Your Board

This week, I had the opportunity to present at the Nonprofit Association of Washington's fundraising conference. I presented on creating a fundraising board - the tactics and mindsets that can help your board members move from stuck to success.

For those of you who couldn't attend, I thought I’d share three key takeaways from the presentation in the quick video above.

• The importance of treating your board members like individuals, not as part of a collective

• How clear expectations can help your board members feel successful

• A three-piece toolkit to help board members succeed in fundraising.

And of course, there’s more. Your board is a key part of your fundraising story – engaged and visionary leadership can make the difference between “just getting by” and “crushing it.”

Are your board members part of your fundraising story? If not, let’s talk!

Oh – and if you want the board toolkit that I shared with attendees, drop me a comment or message!
