BoardSource is excited to announce that it has adopted a new strategic framework. Anne Wallestad, president & CEO, introduces us to this new strategic direction and the impact it will have on how we partner with you and your organization in her most recent blog post.
On February 2, BoardSource leadership will present a one-hour webinar on the new framework. Join us to learn more about the plan, the process we used to develop it, and the big questions we asked ourselves when doing so.
What does it mean to govern toward the future for mission-level impact? We asked this question of several nationally respected sector leaders at the 2011 BoardSource Leadership Forum. Their insightful responses remain relevant. Share them with your board. Read More >>
While formal performance assessments are extremely important and should be undertaken every two to three years, your board might want to use a dashboard to track and monitor its performance on a more regular basis. Read More >>
Hot Policy Threats and Opportunities The 2016 legislative sessions have already begun in 33 states (with more to come). That means policymakers have started making decisions affecting nonprofit operations, governance, finances, and more. Do you know what state and local policy trends might harm the work of your charitable nonprofit? Already introduced are state budget cuts that would impose new burdens and challenges to giving incentives, taking away resources from nonprofits. Litigation also is underway that could upend longstanding tax exemptions and force nonprofit boards to raise even more money.
Our colleagues at the National Council of Nonprofits have developed a helpful guide — 2015 – 2016: The Years in (P)Review — to a dozen issues to lose sleep over, seize as opportunities, and much more. Use this guide, as well as the resources provided through Stand for Your Mission, to set your agendas and take action now.
What would you like to know about the state of nonprofit boards? Tell us. Every two years, BoardSource conducts our Leading with Intent survey, which has become the sector’s standard on the changing nonprofit board landscape. For the upcoming edition, which will launch this spring, we welcome your input. What new and emerging board topics would you like us to ask about, or are there existing topics you would like us to drill down on? Read the most recent report. Then, please complete our very short, anonymous survey to share your thoughts about Leading With Intent.
