The Board Revitalization Framework Top Organizations Use

Описание: This video introduces the concept of revitalizing a nonprofit board to ensure it remains current, relevant, and fresh. It aims to discuss the components of an effective and representative board of directors that adheres to best practices in board governance. This session is essential for nonprofit board members, directors, and governance committees who want to strengthen their organization's effectiveness.

Boards don’t become ineffective overnight — they slowly lose relevance, diversity of thought, accountability, and momentum. In this video, Ken Haycock breaks down what board revitalization really means and why it’s essential for strong governance in not-for-profit organizations.

You’ll learn how effective boards stay current, representative, and high-performing through intentional recruitment, onboarding, training, assessment, and succession management — not by chance.

This session covers:
-Why board renewal is about continuous improvement, not crisis response
-How to recruit board members strategically — even when boards are elected or appointed
-What effective onboarding and orientation should include (beyond a binder and a tour)
-Why ongoing board education must happen together, not individually
-How to assess board performance, the chair, individual members, and the CEO
-When (and whether) board remuneration makes sense — and when it undermines effectiveness
-The governance committee’s critical role in recruitment, training, and accountability

If your board struggles with disengagement, outdated skills, weak succession planning, or unclear expectations, this video provides a practical governance framework to help boards remain effective stewards of their mission and community trust.

📌 Recommended for:
Board Chairs, Governance Committee members, Executive Directors, CEOs, and anyone working with not-for-profit boards.
