Thank you to everyone who joined us for: 10 Sustainability Questions Every Nonprofit Board Needs to Ask This was one of those conversations where the value really came from the room: thoughtful, practical, and grounded in real board experience. We covered how boards can stay confident in their organization’s long-term health without stepping into operations, and explored sustainability across: - Relevance - Resources - Resilience 📂 What’s Now Available Attached is everything from the session: ✅ Full presentation slides ✅ Executive Summary (key takeaways + insights) 💬 What Came Up in the Conversation A few themes that really stood out: - Funding diversification continues to be a major concern - Tension between board oversight vs. management - The challenge of founder transitions and succession planning - Questions around risk awareness and mitigation - How boards can better understand true program costs and trade-offs There was also strong discussion around: - Strategic planning practices - Board engagement expectations - Moving from working boards to governance boards 🔑 A Question to Take Back to Your Board What gives us confidence that our organization will still be relevant and sustainable 3–5 years from now? If you attended:👉 What’s one idea you’re bringing back to your board? If you missed it:👉 Start with the Executive Summary. It’s designed to be shareable.

But we hear a different story from board members all the time: - “I wasn’t clear on what was expected of me.” - “It took months to feel useful.” - “We’re missing opportunities to tap into people’s skills and networks.” Poor onboarding doesn’t just slow people down. It leads to disengagement, frustration, and missed impact. That’s why we’re hosting this live, peer-driven conversation to surface what actually works. 👥 Who This Session Is For This session is especially valuable if you are: - A current nonprofit board member - A board chair, officer, or governance committee member - Involved in recruiting or onboarding new board members - Looking to improve board engagement and effectiveness early on Whether you joined a board recently or you’ve been onboarding others for years, you’ll leave with ideas you can use immediately. 🧭 How the Session Will Work This is not a webinar and not a presentation. This is a peer-led conversation designed to help board members learn from one another and leave with ideas they can actually use. 👉 Save your spot and join us live.
