Nonprofit boards must create a structure along with policies and procedures that support good governance. Structure is more than just the size of your board; to be efficient and successful, boards must develop a solid committee and meeting structure and ensure the board’s time is utilized well.
Questions to address:
- How large should your board be?
- How many board committees should exist to be most effective?
- How long should a board member serve?
- How can your board organize its meeting to be most efficient?
- How often should meetings be held and how long should they be?
- How do you ensure the discussions taking place in your board’s meetings are of quality and helping promote the mission, vision and assets of the organization your board’s serves?
