#15 | Boards: Most are Meh
We cover all three of the things you’re not supposed to talk about: money, politics, and religion.
Boards are tough! It’s hard being a Board Member. It’s hard reporting to a Board.
Episode Highlights
- Serve wine at Board meetings to get Brittny there.
- Board/Staff relationships require trust!
- Board Members, volunteer in programs to get a better sense of the work!
- Boards weighing in on staff benefits and implementing for-profit standards. GAHHHHH!
- Stay out of operations!
- Mutual Appreciation, FTW!
- Boards, self-police! Don’t ask staff to institute accountability for you.
- THANK YOU for your service!
