Board Development

Boards influence life at every turn in our society. Boards govern our businesses and our charities; our schools and our government; our professional organizations and our healthcare. While boards have different designations and unique purposes, all boards share common roles and responsibilities. From a broad perspective, they all face challenges such as determining the work that needs to be done, organizing the work, and establishing policies to guide it.

Boards provide a mechanism for people committed to the same objective to come
together to make collective decisions. Whenever a group of people sits together to
discuss challenges, to solve problems and to plan for the future, the collective skills
and strengths of the individuals are combined to construct the work of the business or organization.

Superior governance skills do not occur magically. Instead, boards need to explore
strategies to work together to move the organization or business forward to fulfill its mission, goals and objectives. Resource Associates, Inc. can help all boards:

• Understand their roles and responsibilities and their relationship to the CEO or
Executive Director;

• Examine the organization from a variety of perspectives and make decisions
accordingly;

• Establish a shared vision for the organization or business;

• Develop critical thinking skills to enhance decision-making;

• Plan for the unique future of the organization or business;

• Understand how to recruit new members based on the agreed-upon direction of
the governing body;

• Plan strategically for the future;

• Balance short and long term goals in light of the current environment, increased
demands, and the uncertain future; and

• Implement strategies to keep the board members on the same page and working
together as a unit.

We understand that each nonprofit and business are unique so our approach
builds on these individual characteristics. We fashion our consultation strategies
around concerns and challenges
at the same time we strive to build on the existing strengths. Boards are the foundation of our decision making in business and in our society. Resource Associates, Inc. offers all boards the opportunity to hone their skills to strengthen their organization or business.
