Building Board Success: Insights from a Dynamic CEO and Board Member Duo
We’re excited to share a virtual discussion on strengthening board engagement. Jennifer Lehman, President and CEO of Mission Advancement, interviews two nonprofit leaders who served together – Lynne McLean, CEO of Children’s Advocacy Center of Collin County and Liz Sweney, the former Board President, Development Committee Chair and Capital Campaign Team member. They began leading together in 2012 and share key insights on how to successfully partner to build a strong, engaged and effective board.
If you’ve been searching for ways to enhance your board’s impact or need guidance on overcoming common challenges, this is your chance to learn from experts who have been through it together.
Board engagement is critical to a thriving nonprofit, but many organizations struggle to build a board that understands its role and remains actively engaged. In this video, you’ll gain insights on:
– Recruiting the right people
– Setting clear expectations
– Engaging the board in fundraising
Lynne and Liz draw from their real-life experience working together. They explore common challenges and share strategies to overcome misaligned board members, unclear expectations and underperformance, and board apathy toward fundraising and other efforts that drive sustainability and growth.
