How do you keep your board members engaged with fundraising and other supportive activities? Amy Eisenstein interviews nationally recognized nonprofit founder and thought leader Rachel Muir, who shares some great advice about how to keep nonprofit board members engaged and accountable so they will fully support your organization with fundraising and more.

Few things are more critical to your nonprofits health than an effective board of directors.  Building, managing and developing a leadership team made up of just volunteers is one of the most ambitious, delicate and daunting responsibilities of nonprofit executives. 

Imagine your board members trumpeting your cause everywhere they go.  Being your cheerleader.  Opening doors to influential prospects.  Cultivating donors.  Writing checks.  Delighting your donors with a thank you call.  Having productive board meetings. 

Rachel’s been in your shoes and knows how hard managing a leadership team of volunteers is.  She can lead your next board retreat or deliver a training at your next board meeting.

Curious what a board training might look like?  Email Rachel to request a sample agenda.  Book time with Rachel and we’ll hop on the phone to explore your challenges and goals with your board of directors.   After we discuss your goals I’ll email you back a detailed agenda for your consideration.
