VI team members have an interactive and participatory approach to working with boards. We focus on applying real life case studies to industry best practices, to bring concepts to life.
The first meeting is between a VI team member and organizational leadership to explore the needs and requirements of your specific board. A development calendar is created to ensure everyone understands the process.
In non-profit organizations, board members are typically chosen based on a commitment to organizational mission and vision or for their financial capacity. These members haven't necessarily acquired the skills to be a productive and strategic board member.
VI team members run development sessions to empower board members with the knowledge and skills to be effective:
- Strategic thinking
- Fundraising
- Succession planning
- Roles and boundaries
- "Best Practices" in governance
For-profit boards have been required to adhere to increasingly stringent governance rules and regulations. This makes it more difficult than ever for board members to be strategic and proactive in their meetings. To increase effectiveness, boards must develop meeting schedules, subcommittees, and strategic agendas that enhance their capacity to succeed.
VI team members run development sessions that increase effectiveness and efficiency:
- Strategic thinking
- Understanding organizational finances
- Succession planning
- Roles and boundaries
- Corporate governance
