Episode Details

In this episode, I’m excited to welcome Sean Kosofsky, known as "The Nonprofit Fixer," to discuss the crucial aspects of nonprofit board management. With over 30 years of experience in various nonprofit roles, Sean shares his insights on improving board engagement and fundraising efforts. The conversation covers the importance of having all board members involved in fundraising and donating, strategies for recruiting and retaining effective board members, and the significance of setting clear expectations through board agreements. Sean also provides practical advice on revitalizing disengaged boards, emphasizing the need for training, clear communication, and accountability. The episode is a valuable resource for nonprofit leaders looking to enhance their board's performance and achieve their organization's mission.

Topics:

• Answering the questions of weather or not all board members should be a part of raising donations as well as investing their own money
• How to find good board members that are fully engaged in the cause of your organization and why you should raise the standard of your board
• The single, most powerful tool that you can use in your nonprofit organization to make sure you’re onboarding engaged members and the 3 Ms of board work 
• The path to take if you need to have a hard conversation with a disengaged board member, especially if you’ve already followed up 
• Where Sean lands on what the board should be approving for different types of support, continuing, coaching, and other expenses
