The Five Essential Systems... Most Nonprofits Don’t Know They Need

Five Steps to Board Recruitment (That Actually Work)
Most nonprofits recruit board members by accident, urgency, or simply because someone “knows someone.” The result? Mismatched expectations, disengaged members, and added stress for leadership. This session changes that story.
In Mission Possible, nonprofit leaders will learn a clear, practical approach to finding and attracting the right board members — people who bring energy, skills, and alignment to your mission. You’ll explore the five essential steps that turn recruitment from a reactive scramble into an intentional strategy. Whether you’re building your board for the first time or strengthening an existing one, this workshop will help you move from “just filling seats” to building a board that leads, supports, and elevates your organization’s impact.
What You’ll Walk Away With:
✅ A solid understanding of what makes an effective board recruitment strategy — and how to tailor it to your organization’s needs and stage of growth.
✅ Clarity on what the “right” board member actually looks like for your mission, culture, and long-term goals.
✅ Insight into the most common pitfalls nonprofits fall into during recruitment — plus simple, actionable ways to avoid them and bring in the leadership your organization truly needs.
Each session is designed to give nonprofit leaders the clarity, structure, and tools they need to step out of overwhelm and lead with confidence. You’ll learn practical strategies that strengthen your mission and protect your wellbeing, creating a healthier, more sustainable path forward.
With three unique sessions offered, you have multiple opportunities to learn, grow, and strengthen your organization.
