Aligning the personal values of a diverse board with the mission and needs of a nonprofit takes enormous skill in the art of persuasion. It means your role as executive director or director of development should come with an advanced degree in psychology and an extensive history of sales or marketing – which few, if any of us, have. The ultimate goal in motivating a board is achieving results through people – one-by-one. Therefore, motivating a board is an art form that requires an individualized approach within the context of a defined philosophy of mission, leadership, communication, strategic planning, evaluation and recognition. Rose Lester will be presenting an overview of how to motivate board members to advance your goals.
