- How can you lead effective Nonprofit Board of Directors meetings? Here are 7 tips!
#Nonprofit #leadership #Nonprofits
I work full time for the 501c3 nonprofit I started many years ago and recruiting and managing a Board of Directors was a key part of making the organization a success! Our nonprofit organization learned and fine-tuned our strategy to lead effective Board meetings over many years. The tips shared in this video include all the things that worked well for us!
When starting a nonprofit or growing one, nonprofit board members can benefit from a well-structured board meeting to help them understand the mission and their responsibilities clearly, so they can lead and help the organization fundraise, operate programs, and more effectively.
If you are starting or growing a 501c3 nonprofit organization, thinking about it, or interested in serving on a Nonprofit board of directors, I hope this helps!

As I've just been elected as a non-profit board president, these are extremely value tips that I will incorporate as I kick off board meeting to make sure everyone attending it feels like it was valuable time and energy spent.
Excellent!! Congrats on your new role!
Thank you very much for your advice. I've been founder and owner of a non profit for about 5 years now. I just discovered your channel and I like the content. Very good advices and recommendations. Thank you for the good work.
Yay! Great to have you here on the channel!
I am a new board member and was elected President when I missed the first meeting due to an emergency. So we have since had 3 meetings with one member being late the last two meetings and she was actually almost an hour late at the last meeting. Then she had to set up her laptop, get the password, talk about some gossip and after another member had personal employment issues that were discussed-nothing at all to do with our Humane Society…..4 hours later I adjourned the meeting and left to feed my farm animals late of course! I’m thinking this board stuff is not for me! I had no control of the meeting. 😔
Hmmm... sounds like you all need to create some "rules of engagement" - an agreement on who will run the meetings and who has what responsibility. Put it in writing and ask everyone to review, agree and sign. It's a step.
Amber, this video is just what I needed. Hosting our first board meeting in March and you provided great insights. We will have an inspiring meeting. Thank you!
Yay! Congrats on your first board meeting and good luck!
Just tapping on here to say thank you for the great content and thank you also for leaving that little blooper at the end. I thought that was phenomenal!
Thank you so much! :)
Amber, I guess you could put me in the "raving fan" category!! Another great video, thank you. We also try to start with something inspiring (an inspirational teaching, often biblically related which is relevant to our community and region). I love the idea of our own mission being the inspiration. One thing I would add as tip number eight is to thank those who took the time to show up; I like to share my love for my fantastic board that shows up to support this dream.
I definitely like that for another tip! Thanks Laya!
Yes volunteering time makes them rock stars
Thanks Soo much for this ,it's timely for me since I will be holding first Board meeting for the start up non -profit
You're welcome Mary! Good luck with your first meeting!
Great video! I am looking to start a non-profit organization pushing to help pay for therapy for people. Mental health is a progressing problem that is getting worse with time and I almost died due to mental illness and saving lives would be a dream. So far I have no idea where to start😂 But everyone has to start somewhere. Thank you for this content
Out of the blue last year my daughter went into psychosis. Being isolated at home 24/7 wasn't healthy for her. She's never had any issues ever before COVID-19. She had to be hospitalized a couple of weeks. Now she's home with me and doing well.. I'm attempting to learn about noon profits to help people like my daughter and others.. We definitely need more awareness..
@@susanfreeman5340 I am sorry to hear about that. I hope she is doing well. I have bipolar 1 and my last episode also had psychosis which led to auditory and visual hallucinations and leading me to almost losing my life multiple times. This stuff is no joke and after getting out of the hospitalization, I pledged to do something to try put even the slightest dent in mental health. I 100% agree that isolation is not good at all for anyone. If I were you, I'd also look into an out patient program to send her 3-5 days a week if possible for a month or 2. Helps socialization and coping skills. Sending my blessings your way
You are very welcome! Great cause!
Wow this is so productive, am greatful
Happy to hear it!
