Need your advice on Advisory Boards
At our YouthBuild Boston board meeting next Tuesday, we plan to talk about whether to set up an advisory board for non-board members we want to engage more deeply. Do any of you have experience with advisory boards or thoughts on this? Some of the questions on my mind are:
  • Who should be invited and who should do the inviting? Should there be criteria for ongoing membership?
  • What expectations are realistic to set? How frequently should they convene?
  • Should a board member be the liaison or should the ED take that role since many invitees might have specific skills and knowledge the ED might want to tap into
  • Is the proverbial juice worth the squeeze?
Any and all advice or experience would be greatly appreciated, ideally sooner rather than later.
Thank you.
