But what if there's a better way? What if your board members are craving something beyond those financial statements and program updates?The truth is, your board represents your organization's most valuable leadership asset—when properly engaged. They're not just there to fulfill a legal requirement; they're strategic partners who can propel your mission forward. On today's episode, Nathan explores four essential elements board members truly want from nonprofit leadership: community, decision-making opportunities, confidence in leadership, and yes—even fun.Shift your focus from reports to relationships, and watch your board transform from obligatory oversight to enthusiastic partnership in advancing your mission.Support the showThe Hosts of The Practice of NonProfit Leadership:Tim Barnes serves as the Executive Vice President of International Association for Refugees (IAFR) Nathan Ruby serves as the Executive Director of Friends of the Children of Haiti (FOTCOH) They can be reached at info@practicenpleader.comAll opinions and views expressed by the hosts are their own and do not necessarily represent those of their respective organizations.
