Charity/Not for Profit boards are wonderful when they work well. They can provide an organisation with insight, experience, leadership and support amongst other things. Each board or management committee is very different from another, and tends to develop a personality of its own. Individual members can make a big impact on this.

Over the next few weeks I’ll be tackling some common challenges that arise from working with your board, from both a staff and trustee perspective and how a board’s personality and the personalities within it can be supported to get the best of your organisation’s governance. I’ll be starting with working with those occasional board members who perhaps have their own agenda or clash with others.

In the meantime, I’d love to hear your questions or stories about board and committee problems. Please comment here or email virginia@charityconsultant.org.
