The other day I heard from the president of a local nonprofit. She shared with me what she has found are the keys to being a successful contributor to a nonprofit board. Here is her list:
-
Always be on time
-
Always be prepared
-
Always be courteous
-
Always pay attention to the views of others
-
Always express appreciation for the work of others
-
Always be willing to give credit to others
-
Always make sure that everyone feels heard
-
Always check in with people both as individuals and as professionals
-
Always make yourself available to provide advice and guidance
-
Always take the long view I thought this list would be valuable to share with my readers, whether you’re on a board or working with a board.
-
What would you add to this list?
