Onboarding new board members is critical to get started on the right foot. We create board manuals, develop orientation agendas and activities, and lead orientation meetings so your new board members can dive in.

Our interactive, action-oriented retreats help your board feel engaged, inspired and ready to move forward with a clear plan. Whether it’s strategy, governance, team building, or something else entirely, our board assessment tool lets us get to know your board before the retreat, so we can customize the agenda to best meet your needs.

Board development shouldn't be limited to an orientation and an annual retreat. That’s why we provide training modules during your regular board meetings or as standalone sessions. Popular topics range from basic board roles and responsibilities to understanding financial reports and how to be more effective at fundraising. We also offer one-on-one coaching for board chairs and for board members who would like additional support in specific areas.

We understand the value of a skilled, external facilitator in a board room, particularly during difficult discussions and challenging decision making. We are adept at creating an environment for all voices to be heard and guiding a group toward collaborative decision making and decisive action.
