A board of directors creating a strategic plan in isolation is a sure recipe for making a dust collecting binder. The current model many use for planning is broken. We need to shatter the artificial divides we have built around the process. #strategicplanning #nonprofit

Client asked me what should his board look like. I told him to start here: is your board 50% female and does it reflect the diversity of your community and those you serve. If you can get to that point the rest of the composition work is easy. #Governance #directors #equity
