It's Time to Simplify Your Board's Role & Maximize Your Impact

As a nonprofit Board Member or Executive Director, you're already juggling a full plate.

And to be honest, most board retreats and trainings are a waste of time and money...

... sure they might feel great in the moment, but you get back to work, nothing has really changed.

The problem is that most boards are built on systems and structures that are based on REALLY bad advice dressed up as 'Best Practice' and they leave board members feeling...

👉 confused about their role

👉 unclear and anxious about their legal responsibilities and whether you’re “doing it right”

and 👉 ill-prepared and untrained for many of the decisions they are asked to make.

If you've been told...

"The board sets policy, engages in strategic planning, and helps resource the organization to achieve the strategic plan."

YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN BAD ADVICE

... and you've probably been putting in a lot of effort with little to show for it.

At the Board Clarity Retreat you will learn a new way to structure your board...

A simpler way...

... that will save you countless hours while leading your nonprofit to greater impact.

Everything we learned made so much sense and was so easy to implement, we started adopting the new board job description Sarah gave us while we were at the retreat!
Change has never been so easy!

- Sandra Pearls, Board Chair, GCDC

Real Feedback from Nonprofit Leaders

The Retreat was so much more than a program - it was our catalyst for change. We finally got our whole board ONBOARD and in alignment which has enabled us to truly feel like we’re pulling together, in a way that just didn’t seem possible before - I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s been life-changing!

Joan Dillon

Executive Director, GCDC

After the Retreat, my board members were more engaged and I’m so excited for the new bylaws and committee structures we are putting in place.

Janice Johnson

Executive Director

It was incredible. . .

A total game-changer for us - and I would say to any Board Chair if you’re thinking about joining, do it, you won’t regret it, you’ll come out of it…lighter. So much lighter. It’s honestly taken such a weight off!

In one day you will learn so much! It gives peace of mind, takes out the guesswork, and really instills good practices for everyone to follow, as well as motivation to keep improving.

Lauren Friedman

Executive Director, pkDo

When I signed up to do this today. I was like, okay, I'll do it. I'll probably sit in on about an hour of this and then I'm going to go on with my happy day.

And… I stayed for every minute of it and I think that it was incredibly impactful.
