PRIDE President and CEO, Jake Lyons, addresses the importance of board member training

Are You Struggling to Get Your Board Engaged?

Your board is the backbone of your organization. But are they fully equipped to drive your mission forward? You might be facing:

  • Weak Fundraising Engagement: Board members are hesitant to solicit donations, leaving vital funds on the table.

  • Unclear Roles & Responsibilities: Board members are passionate, but lack clarity on their specific duties.

  • Ineffective Meetings & Decision-Making: Meetings drag on, and decisions lack impact.

  • Lack of Strategic Alignment: The board isn't fully aligned with your organization's vision and long-term goals.

  • Struggling with Succession Planning: You're worried about leadership gaps and the future of your board.
