The Board may become more effective if it can find a more creative and constructive way of engagement with the leadership.

 

Reflection:

  • Review Board composition and make it more contemporary with changing development landscape.
  • 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.
  • Others -

Notes for Development:

  1. The Board may become more effective if it can find a more creative and constructive way of engagement with the leadership.

  2. The leadership may consider working with the Board in developing a framework for more meaningful engagement in this matter.

  3. Develop role clarities, engagement framework. Enable the Board to add greater and deeper value without creating any form of constraints (regarding Board management aspects).
