One of the goals of this program is to provide support for change to the way your BOD is functioning, from its foundation up. Ongoing coaching, training, and access to the online materials and a peer support community is the most effective way to do that. For Tier 3, a 1-year commitment is required.

If you wish to and they are available, yes. All of our coaches are experienced former nonprofit executives from different backgrounds, and we will also be happy to choose one for you that we think will suit your needs.

Yes. If you aren’t “clicking” with the first coach you are matched with, just let us know at [email protected] and we will assign you a new coach.

Yes. Additional sessions may be scheduled directly with your coach and your credit card on file will be billed for $250/hr.

Since there will be just one PBT per roundtable, we suggest that you sign up online early for the next roundtable and check the “Brain Trust” box to indicate that you have a problem for the group to consider. If someone else has made their request before you, your request will be rolled forward to a future roundtable.

Arrive prepared with a concise, passionate, intriguing pitch for your organization and your BOD and be ready to work the room with open, positive energy. Be forthcoming about challenges your organization is facing. Let board prospects know that they can make a real difference when they serve on your board, and that BoardBuilders is helping to make sure your BOD is running well.

BoardBuilders is a responsive, evolving program. Your input and your needs are key factors for ongoing development of the program. Please let us know if there is something you’d like to see in our resource library that isn’t there yet.

When you’re ready, let your coach know or email us at [email protected] and a BoardBuilders team member will reach back to begin a conversation with you about how/when we will work with you to produce your customized onboarding video. We will produce a short video featuring you and/or your board chair on camera. We will work with you to script it and we can come to your place of business (within L.A. County) to make the video. Any slideshows or graphics must be provided by you.
