Engaging emerging leaders as board members takes knowledge of three general subject areas:
- Board Engagement – what does board engagement mean? What does it look like? And how does it feel?
- Generational traits, values, motivators and how these were framed by the global and local experiences that shape us during our coming of age. Turns out, generations are actually different cultures.
- Nonprofit transformation – predicting what the sector will look like in the future using external trends and information.
Pulling these pieces together, you can begin to see where you nonprofit is going, how emerging leaders on board can help you transition, and how you engage your entire board’s particular “human or intellectual capital” to get there.
Below you will find resources on each of these topics. (more…)
