44: Building A Supercharged Nonprofit Board (Dolph Goldenburg)
SUMMARY
How do you best engage your board members as a nonprofit leader, especially given the challenges the sector is facing right now? This episode of the Path poses that question to someone who literally wrote a book about the topic, called Successful Nonprofits Build Supercharged Boards. Dolph Goldenburg and I certainly discuss board development in episode #44 of the podcast, but also talk about specific fundraising tactics you can incorporate into your development plan, as well as two things in which every nonprofit should be investing right now. He also has some great – and specific – productivity tips that he’s developed during his years as a nonprofit CEO, and also has several online and book resources that you’ll definitely want to check out!
