If done correctly, board service is a serious commitment of time, energy and expertise. It should also be a terrifically rewarding experience for the board member. In order to make sure it’s the right fit, there are lots of questions you should ask after that first one (and that the non profit should be prepared to answer) before you sign on.
A leader makes or is encouraged to make a hasty exit after a short tenure at a non- profit. Word spreads quickly through the non-profit community and people begin to share their opinions. They agree with the decision for the Executive Director to part ways with the organization, or they disagree with the decision. Either way, they are usually concerned about the short or long term stability of the organization. And sometimes, they ask: “Who did the search?”
I love movies and one of my favorite movies is The Hunt for Red October adapted from Tom Clancy’s bestselling book. You remember it – Sean Connery, Alec Baldwin, Ed Harris and James Earl Jones. The plot is about the search for a submarine equipped with a stealth propulsion system that makes detection by sonar extremely difficult.
I love St. Patrick’s Day! Even though I’m not Irish, it’s a time we can ALL be Irish for a day. This year, my husband and I went out with friends to celebrate over green beers and pints of Guinness.
