Board Development
Outfitters4 offers services customized to each client. Services can include the following:
Roles and Responsibilities: Boards of Directors form the essential core of nonprofit governance, yet board membership can be bewildering. It is often the case that individuals are asked (and agree) to serve on nonprofit boards without a clear understanding of the organizational or legal expectations that accompany the position. Outfitters4 can provide initial training and periodic refreshers to Executive Director/CEO and board members.
Board Development Plan: Beyond knowledge of the basics, the work of a board benefits from consideration of a range of governance issues. As examples, some of these are board size and composition, recruitment and training plans, and creation of a self-evaluation plan. Additionally, the process of identifying metrics for inclusion in an organizational “dashboard” is a good exercise for helping the board better understand what is important to the organization. Outfitters4 can assist in each of these areas.
