Designing the Relationship between Executive Directors & Board Members
The Executive Director and Board partnership is a vital factor in ensuring effective leadership for all nonprofits.
Every time a Board Chair changes and new directors join a Board, the ED gets a new “boss”. Investing in the intentional design of the relationship between the ED and Board is key to both success and satisfaction, while, at the same time, it contributes to a nonprofit’s sustainability and momentum.

This is an ideal workshop for Board Chairs and their EDs to experience together.
