Manifesting Passion: Culture, Character, Competency: Attracting, Developing, and Retaining Exceptional Board Leadership (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798455039287)

Passion is contagious. Who doesn't love spending time with someone who radiates positive, infectious, joyful, powerful energy? Have you ever met someone who believed in something so much that spending time in their presence inspired you to either join their bandwagon or seek out something else that was equally inspiring for you?

If you run a nonprofit, you're involved with a nonprofit organization, or you've considered joining a board of directors, you know how important boards are in providing oversight and continuity for the organization. The board is ultimately the group of devoted leaders who advance the mission of the organization, govern the organization through policies and procedures, and procure sufficient fiduciary oversight and resources to support the organization's operations. The board serves as a set of ambassadors who manifest passion by modeling the culture, character and competency that define a healthy organization.

There are many reasons people join boards. Serving on a board can be personally and professionally rewarding. It's a great way for members to expand their career experience and skill-set, by volunteering for challenging activities and working as part of a team. It's also a great place to meet and network with like-minded people. Collectively, the board's role in fiduciary oversight and fundraising is to provide leadership, financial support, and create connections and relationships with donors and prospective donors.

As an executive director, it's your job to foster an environment that turns an ensemble of instruments into an orchestra. Every executive director desires a dedicated, energized, and excited board. The questions are: How do you get there? And how do you lead your organization in attracting, developing, and retaining exceptional board leadership?
