it might be time to revisit your board structure. In this month's Resources + Solutions, we're focusing on board committees and other aspects of board structure. Because much of the board’s roll-up-your sleeves work is accomplished at the committee or task force level, it’s vitally important that they are effective. In this resource, we provide a set of questions to ask your board members to determine if a change in your board structure would be beneficial.
Even the most organized, responsible, and amiable board needs to document its activities, internal rules, and processes. In this colorful infographic, we present the board’s must-have documents. Are your “papers” in order?
What’s an ELAC? An Emerging Leaders Advisory Council. In this blog post, Zach Davis, a member of the BoardSource team and an emerging leader himself, provides some tips on how to form and use an ELAC to capture the insights of your community’s young leaders at the board level.
We couldn’t be more proud of our president & CEO! Anne Wallestad has been recognized for “mastering the balance between change and sustainability” at BoardSource, earning her a spot on The Nonprofit Times’s 19th annual celebration of the sector’s top executives and strategists. Here is what NPT has to say about her:
“A BoardSource CEO hasn’t been on the list since 2002. Wallestad has this vital organization turned around and providing contemporary services to boards such as mapping trends, transparency, recruitment and advocacy. Boards are vital and she has put this resource back on its feet as an underpinning for the sector.”
