In recent months, we have observed three distinct nonprofits experience the departure of their Executive Director, directly resulting from issues such as board mismanagement, friction between the Executive Director and Board Chair, or the board's failure to adequately fulfill its responsibilities. These situations are not just administrative setbacks; they are profoundly disruptive and damaging. The loss of an Executive Director in this context can have far-reaching consequences, severely impacting the nonprofit's operational stability, staff morale, and stakeholder confidence.
Board leaders, especially the board chair and executive committee, share a vital set of responsibilities. Arguably, the most important relationship within the nonprofit organization is between the board chair and the executive director. This relationship can significantly influence the organization's success or failure.
Join us for an in-depth exploration of the board chair's role, key responsibilities, relationship with the executive director, and practical tools and tips for building a strengths-based governance structure.
