BOARD DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING
An active, committed Board of Trustees is vital to the overall direction and operation of nonprofit organizations. It is no less important that the Board members also give significant financial support. Nonprofit organizations looking to maximize their fund-raising potential may need to evaluate the Board’s role and examine whether:

• Each Board member’s involvement extends beyond attending scheduled Board meetings
• Each Board member is an advocate for the organization in the community and among his/her peers
• Each Board member believes in and works to further the organization’s mission
• Each Board member gives significant personal financial support to the organization

If the answers to those questions point to a Board of Trustees that includes many members who are trustees in name only, it may be time to re-examine the Board’s role, recruit new members and clearly communicate the expectations of Board membership.
