Reflection:

- No response required as board is not supposed to be involved in any fundraising work, and it is managed by professionals/practitioners.
- Creating structures within the Board specifically to drive FR ambitions; like a Council, a sub-committee etc. and develop clear agenda for the new structure, with the Board Scope of Board engagement for fundraising - define better.
- Reach out to Board more effectively and find better ways of engaging them in FR work- for opening doors, driving strategy, network etc.

Action:
- No action necessary.
- Develop a fresh Board engagement plan.
- Bring in new Board members, who could be influencers.
- Develop proper FR role for the Board and make them self-evaluate during each Board meetings.
- Create a new Council reporting to Board Chair or the CEO- council comprising a group of global influencers.

Notes for Development:
- The Board may become more effective if it can find a more creative and constructive way of engagement with the leadership.
- The leadership may consider working with the Board in developing a framework for more meaningful engagement in this matter.
- Develop role clarities, engagement framework. Enable the Board to add greater and deeper value without creating any form of constraints (regarding Board management aspects).
