You’ve heard it before, a million different ways. If you want to get from point A to point B, it isn’t enough just to want it – you have to have a plan.

Do you struggle to ensure that your new board members really and fully understand their unique roles and responsibilities?

Are you ready TO change?

What could be a more important character quality for a fund development professional?

We received official notification last week that Laura and I earned the Certified Governance Trainer designation from BoardSource and are now part of an ‘elite’ group of only 140 trainers in the world! As such will be able to utilize the BoardSource training materials, research and tools here locally in our consulting work. We are really excited to be able to partner with THE recognized resource on all things related to nonprofit boards, and even more eager to be able to share that with our clients and our community.

Jenny and I just returned from a week at the BoardSource Leadership Forum in New Orleans and it was fantastic! I attended the two-day conference, and then Jenny joined me for the three day Certified Governance Trainer program. We were two of 22 consultants selected from across the country to participate in the training program, and we were really excited to have this opportunity!

Thank you for the excellent training last Friday! I came away with new enthusiasm and confidence behind my work as a development officer. I also wanted to share that I made my first successful ask yesterday of $10,000! Your training made a huge difference for me, right away. – Emily Brott
