Leadership Support

Board Education

Strengthen engagement to drive meaningful results.

Your board members are among your nonprofit’s most important stakeholders.

Engaging them effectively can require special expertise.

  • Board members may not fully understand their roles and expectations.

  • The line between board governance and staff management easily gets blurred.

  • Recruitment and succession planning often fall to the wayside.

  • Complex dynamics require the right approach to minimize frustration and missed opportunities.

Navigating these issues can seem like a full-time job, leaving you little time to focus on the big picture.

But you don’t have to go it alone.

We help nonprofit leaders like you create strong, engaged boards that actively advance your mission.

With tools and strategies tailored to your needs, we can:

  • Clarify roles and responsibilities, so board members feel confident in and excited about their contributions.

  • Strengthen board governance to ensure the board stays focused on strategic priorities.

  • Build your board through thoughtful recruitment and succession planning.

  • Develop your board members into thought partners, resource generators, and ambassadors who actively support your strategic vision, fundraising, and advocacy.

  • Manage board dynamics with proven strategies that strengthen collaboration and foster transparent dialogue.

Our customized board education services include:

  • Board assessment and governance consulting

  • Board orientations

  • Board retreats

  • Board engagement planning

  • Board engagement workshops

“Kim knows through her own experience the kinds of conversations an executive director needs to have with a trustworthy and wise companion. Kim has also served our board, presenting at retreats and board orientations, focusing on the role of the board and the working relationship between board and staff. She has helped our organization move forward with the kinds of projects that often get left on the backburner, making easy work with tasks that feel burdensome..”

— Karin Peterson, Former Executive Director, The Bascom
