Project details

What we need
  • Assessment of specific Organizational needs mapped to specific board roles
  • Outline of ideal board structure and opportunities for new roles
  • Candidate evaluation guide for prospective board members
  • Marketing tools and guidance on how to execute recruitment
  • Note: This project does not include actual board recruitment on the part of the Professional
What we have in place
  • We currently have a strong, active Governance Committee, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a strategic plan & a vision, mission, and value statement, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $11,395 , allowing us to put that money towards art programs that reach students who might not otherwise have access to art classes or who may never have visited a museum before.

The success of our organization depends on a strong board. Our board governance committee has had difficulty developing a solid board recruitment process on its own. Your skills will put in place some best practices empowering us to recruit diverse board members who care about our mission & have the skills our board needs.

Testimonials

Irlana was wonderful to work with on this project. She did a thorough assessment of our current situation and worked with the board governance committee to plan the best way forward. My board loved her and we were able to put in place some new strategies for recruitment. Thank you, Irlana!!
