Member | The Role of Nonprofit Boards in Strategic Planning

Overview

One of the key responsibilities of a nonprofit board is developing and supporting successful strategies for the organization. Considering the unique needs and structures of nonprofits, it can be challenging for board members to discern the best ways for them to contribute to the strategic planning process. Many nonprofits have staff that carry the vision forward into implementation, but for certain types of boards, some (or all) of that responsibility is placed on them as well.

In this new addition to our member-exclusive board series, we’re taking a deeper dive into the role of the board in guiding strategic thinking, planning, and execution. We’ll discuss how different “types” of boards impact that role, and ways that board members can make meaningful contributions in support of the long-term effectiveness of the nonprofits they serve.

As with all our programs for nonprofit boards, we encourage board members and the staff who work with them to attend. We’ll be outlining best practices and resources to guide your next strategy session and answer your questions about the board’s role in strategic planning.
