Board Development
Board Development Assessment & Plan
Fitz Nonprofit Consulting’s Board Development process includes assessment of the skills and demographics currently represented on the board and identification of those that are needed, along with a list of potential board candidates who could make the board robust. We customize the board recruitment and interview process to fit the needs of the organization and take an active role alongside key board and staff members in interviewing candidates. Clarifying role and expectations is a primary aspect of both the recruitment and orientation process. Fitz Nonprofit Consulting creates both a board manual and orientation process aimed at ensuring a strong and transparent relationship between board and staff that will flourish over many years.
