Greenlights provides short- and long-term board development consultation to enhance the overall performance of your board. The work of nonprofit boards of directors is vital to the nonprofit sector, and in many ways an organization is only as healthy as the board that governs it. That's why Greenlights has developed a range of services that can strengthen your board:
- Our half- and full-day facilitated retreats are designed to energize your board and provide structured and creative opportunities to engage in more intensive strategizing and planning work together.
- Board development sessions, such as "What Good Boards Do," help your board think big and develop an understanding of the tactical, strategic and generative (big picture) modes of governance, and when boards should operate in each.
- Our Board Excellence Toolkit helps you gauge the state of your board through surveys and analysis that pinpoint strengths and areas for growth.
- We also provide engagements specific to your board's needs. We can facilitate discussions around:
- Succession management
- Maximizing the board and Executive Director relationship
- Financial oversight
- Conducting effective board meetings
- Increasing board performance and productivity
- Designing committee structures
- Enhanced board fundraising
