A dirty little secret in the nonprofit world is that boards of directors do not always deliver.

Most of the nonprofit women executive directors I work with identify frustrations with their boards as one of their greatest challenges.

You need your board to help raise visibility and funds as well as advocate for your agency, and when they do not do their part, your life as the ED is so much harder.

Today’s episode continues the theme of exploring ways to get your nonprofit board of directors to become engaged and effective ambassadors for your agency.

Specifically- the episode provides tips on how to have those difficult conversations with your board chair and turn those awkward moments into important pivot points for improved board functioning.
