Access to more building dollars
But don't just stop there. Think strategically about whom you could convince to join you in strengthening the capacity of the organization. Then make the case for why a development director, strategic plan, evaluation study or new technology will grow the results your nonprofit is achieving. If board members start making a compelling case to their friends and colleagues about the importance of capacity-building dollars, the sector could be transformed.
Board members can be an instrumental driver of stronger, healthier, more effective nonprofit organizations. But in order to get there, board members have to understand and embrace their leadership role in making organization building a reality.
