STRATEGIC PLANNING +  ENGAGEMENT

Strategic planning is a process that helps organizations set goals and determine the best course of action for achieving those goals. It involves looking at an organization's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats and using that information to develop a plan that outlines the steps the organization will take to reach its desired outcomes.

For nonprofit boards, strategic planning can be especially important because it helps the organization focus its resources on its mission and ensure that it is making the greatest possible impact.

Good strategic planning and effective board development take time, energy and patience.

 

We've created a helpful beginner's guide to get you started on what elements need to be in place as well as the steps you can take to begin building a great and diverse board.

By following these steps, nonprofit boards can develop effective strategic plans that help their organizations achieve their missions and make a positive impact in their communities.

We've got you covered.
