The work we do is always bigger than the political landscape. Whether we agree or disagree with election results, the nonprofit sector must continue to serve the community at large—and that means supporting both the individuals on your team and those you serve. Here's how to lead through it: https://hubs.la/Q02XrGN-0

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world: indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” ― Margaret Mead When organizations prioritize the growth and satisfaction of their board members, engagement naturally follows, leading to a more cohesive and effective governing body. Cultivating an engaged and effective Board of Directors requires intentional effort and investment. By clarifying the needs of the organization, involving volunteers in planning, and fostering mutual growth, nonprofits can build a strong foundation for governance excellence and mission success. Of course, every nonprofit is different and has unique needs and challenges which is why I am here - schedule a discovery call if you would like to discuss ways to effectively engage your organization’s Board of Directors.

I had the pleasure of contributing this brief insight in support of nonprofit leaders who aim to build healthy thriving organizations. "A toxic work culture that is left unchecked is one of the sure signs that an organization is at high risk of failure. The toxicity can be a product of harmful and undisciplined actions and/or consistent inaction in the face of harm. A leader must disrupt behaviors that normalize the bad culture and reinforce systems and structures that reflect the desired organizational culture." At Community Resource Exchange, we uplift the importance of not only having clarity around an organization's external value proposition, but also, their internal value proposition. The promise we make to the communities that we serve is just as important as the promise we make to each other as colleagues advancing towards a mission. All too often, we see teams flounder because their commitment to each other is lacking despite a commitment to their mission. #nonprofit #nonprofitleadership
