Board Member Boot Camp

Board Member Boot Camp is no ordinary board development program. Through a highly interactive and entertaining series of real-world scenarios, you’ll apply the concepts discussed. Throughout the day you’ll capture proven methods and best-in-class strategies for effectively leading your organization.  This program is offered both as a public seminar and as an on-site training program for a single board.

Get your board toolkit for success!

Some things you’ll learn in our scheduled training:

  • The Five Elements of a World Class Board.
  • Culture is king.  Unless you address organizational and board culture first, the rest doesn’t matter.
  • How to overcome organizational budget constraints and establish long-term financial health.
  • Methods for building your volunteer bench strength.
  • A system for keeping an ongoing strategic focus at board meetings (no more 30-minute debates on “salmon vs. chicken”).
  • How to overcome board dysfunction/deal with difficult board members.
  • To stay out of legal and ethical hot water.
  • How to create exceptional board/staff/committee relationships.
  • To use financial documents and statements as strategic management tools, not just understand how to read them.
  • How to clear the deck of operations in order to make room for strategy and governance.
  • To prepare for a potential crisis, such as the unexpected loss of a leader, unfavorable media exposure, devastating financial hits, legal problems, natural or human disasters, and more.
  • What it takes to get the right people on the bus – and keep them aboard.

The day is structured around the Five Elements of a World Class Board.  A World Class Board:

  1. Establishes an aspirational culture
  2. Maintains a strategic focus
  3. Executes a clearly-defined, written governance process
  4. Is committed to continuous self-development and evaluation
  5. Is a strategic partner with a Level 5 staff leader
