The length of time we spend working a project often depends on the strength of our projecting game – particularly what we do on those important working attempts. Many of us either keep working things when we should have sent weeks ago, or we cut off the working goes and start redpoint attempts way too early. The best climbers put themselves into send position with fewer working attempts, and know when they are ready to get it done.  So the question is: How can we make better use of our working goes and send hard things faster? _________________________

Bubble blowers, legacy gifts, and neighborly introductions—this session of Fundraisers Friday bubbles over with wit and wisdom from cohosts Julia C. Patrick and Tony Beall. Tackling real-world fundraising dilemmas, the duo dives into sticky questions nonprofits often tiptoe around.We kick off with a sparkling debate: when a donor grows from a small supporter to a major one, who "owns" the relationship? Tony reminds us, “Relationships come first. Structure comes second.” His point: when a fundraiser elevates a donor's giving, the organization should also elevate the fundraiser's role. Julia reflects, “I didn't think of it that way… they should be elevated—and they haven't been.”Next up: corporate crossover. What happens when an individual donor brings their business into the giving picture? Should the relationship transfer to the corporate team? Tony weighs in: “The development professional may not have the skill sets for corporate partnerships. So, invest in training—or consider a strategic handoff.”Then comes the glitzy question—exclusive events for high-net-worth donors. Are these smart strategies or community-killers? Tony, a champion of inclusivity, says, “Exclusivity has its place… if it leads to planned giving and legacy conversations.” Julia adds in, saying how savvy orgs are shifting these events toward behind-the-scenes access and thought leadership rather than fancy galas.They wrap with the boardroom. Should fundraisers speak at board meetings? Tony suggests quarterly appearances. “Your board should know the development team—if you see them in the grocery store, you should say hello!” Julia adds, “It's not about asking for money. It's about connection, introductions, and understanding.”Packed with humor, heart, and practical advice, this fast-paced convo gives nonprofit professionals tools they can use—and some new ways to look at old problems.00:00:00 Welcome  00:02:06 Who Owns a Donor: Structure vs. Relationship  00:03:18 Fundraiser Elevation Through Donor Growth  00:05:49 Corporate Sponsorship Conflicts  00:06:55 Managing New Corporate Gifts from Existing Donors  00:10:22 Exclusive Events for Top Donors  00:12:00 Are VIP Events Worth It?  00:18:12 Should Fundraisers Speak at Board Meetings?  00:24:24 Board Member Roles in Fundraising  00:27:30 Wrapping Up: Ask Questions, Share Freely   #FundraisersFriday #NonprofitLeadership #DonorRelationshipsFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

In the ever-evolving world of nonprofit leadership, one constant remains: the board meeting. Whether you're a seasoned executive or a new board member, mastering this essential component of governance can elevate your mission and impact. Cody Bender, Chief Product Officer at Boardable, joins us to unravel the practical strategies that make board meetings more efficient, inclusive, and effective.With over a decade of experience leading tech product innovation, Cody begins with the importance of meeting preparation, record-keeping, and adapting to change. But more than that, he reminds us that streamlining meetings isn't just about saving time—it's about maximizing mission delivery.“A well-crafted agenda is easier than you think,” Cody shares. “Structure it from moment one to moment two to moment three—and let your goals guide you.”Cody's key advice includes involving multiple stakeholders in creating agendas to line up expectations and foster engagement. He also points to the value of clear, clean formats over outdated templates and visual clutter.For today's nonprofits—where hybrid meetings & digital communication are the norm—accountability and access to records matter more than ever. “Don't let form override function,” Cody tell us. “You can keep the greatest records in the world, but if you can't get to them, you're in no better position than if you didn't do it at all.”From embracing shared platforms to avoiding the pitfall of overloading your board with too many tools, this informative conversation will give you many actionable items you're your nonprofit can use. And when you hear about Boardable's origin story, rooted in the real frustrations of board service, Cody brings a grounded, user-focused lens to the technology.Ready to transform your board meetings from mundane to mission-aligned?

Did you know that running a booster club board meeting is a lot like managing a business? Clear rules, defined roles, and structured discussions lead to real results. One key to success is Robert's Rules of Order, a time-tested framework that helps meetings stay on track, make informed decisions, and avoid unnecessary chaos.  In this episode of The Boosted Volunteer, host Robin Eissler sits down with Jim Buchanan—adjunct professor at UMHB, founder of Brighter Honor Consulting, and former AT&T director—to share expert strategies for running efficient, organized, and results-driven board meetings. Jim emphasizes the importance of preparation for effective meetings, where decisions are made rather than learning new information. He advocates for forming committees to streamline discussions and prevent endless debates. Jim also stresses the need to train new board members on Robert's Rules of Order using bylaws, policy manuals, and online resources. A well-prepared board chair leads confidently, improving decision-making and operations. Jim and Robyn also reflect on their volunteer experiences, highlighting teamwork and patience. Jim's background in theater and leadership with children's activities contributed to his booster club's success.  Key Takeaways: 2:46 Importance of Robert's Rules of Order:  Jim explains Robert's Rules of Order 4:24 Structure and Organization in Nonprofit Meetings: Jim emphasizes the importance of having a structured meeting to prevent chaos and ensure productivity 7:29 Managing Unexpected Topics During a Meeting:  Jim suggests using a "parking lot" to address out-of-agenda items later in the meeting, helping to maintain focus on the primary agenda. 8:34 Ideal Meeting Structure: Jim outlines the key components of a board meeting, including preparation, organizing logistics, staying on time, and maintaining accurate meeting minutes. 10:06 What Should and Should Not Be on the Agenda: Jim explains what items belong on a typical agenda, stressing the importance of staying focused on the key topics relevant to the meeting. 12:00 Common Mistakes in Parliamentary Procedure: Jim highlights a common mistake in meetings 21:31 Robert's Rules of Order: Training new board members with bylaws and Robert's Rules of Order is essential    Resources: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-buchanan-cam-c-p-m-58a65123/

Annie Glenn (also known as Urban Girl Annie) started her company LG Retail Enterprises back in 1994 and has been doing retail ever since. Although Annie majored in literature in college, she knew she wanted to own a business since she was 10 years old. With no prior background in retail, she credits her business success to having great instincts and a lack of fear. Today, she's a proud entrepreneur and a mom to two amazing boys, Jack and Cooper. Her hope is that her stores, including Urban Girl Accessories, bring joy and happiness to whoever walks through the doors. Jamie Carl is the owner and founder of Serge + Jane in Minneapolis, MN. S+J is a lifestyle boutique featuring men's, women's, kids, pets, vinyl, home + gifts in a 3-story shop (4 including the open-air rooftop where they host fashion shows, trunk shows, pop-ups + always a DJ + dance party)! Jamie spent the first 15 years of her career in retail at Target Corporation. Jamie spent the last 9 years there working on and leading the Internal Events Team. She was responsible for Board Meetings all the way up to 10,000-person National Team Meetings with guest speakers, musicians, fashion shows and more! Jamie left the role at Target when she couldn't balance two big jobs within retail in one family and took the opportunity to stay home with her two young boys for several years, all while fine-tuning her vision for the shop and "visually re-merchandising" her house for each holiday!Michael Schultz is the co-owner and creative eye of Cursive New York, which operates 2 stores in New York City. Cursive is a tightly focused concept with the simple mission of cultivating joy. Michael, along with his husband, Douglas Duncan, have established Cursive as a strong and forward voice in the industry. Cursive offers gift, stationery, home and lifestyle products and is constantly evolving. Cursive operated in New York City's iconic Grand Central Terminal for 11 years and within ABC Carpet & Home for 15 years, until the Covid-19 pandemic upended those long runs. Making lemonade out of lemons, Schultz and Duncan doubled down on New York and opened 2 shops in New York's West Village neighborhood, 4 blocks apart. One shop is true to the original Cursive vision, while Cursive Home is the brand's extension into home goods. In this second Retailer Roundtable, we chat about what our three guests have been up to over the last couple of years. Annie, Jamie, and Michael all share the stories of how they started up their stores and how they approach shows.

This season, every episode of OMG focuses on a question that directors really need to answer. OMG is written, produced, narrated and scored by Matt Fullbrook.   TRANSCRIPT: Question #27: How many of us would like our board meetings to feel more “creative”? As any casual OMG listener will already know, I spend a lot of time encouraging corporate directors and senior executives to do things that are outside of the range of normal behaviours in boardrooms. First off, I'd like to argue that the range of normal behaviours in boardrooms is way too narrow and doesn't work very well. But second, I am compelled to admit that it can be hard to find the confidence to try things that literally nobody else has ever tried, even when everything that everyone *has* tried doesn't work. To that end, I often get challenged by my clients and students on that exact point, usually in the form of “that all sounds fine, Matt, but how do you expect me to go into my boardroom and actually do this stuff?” My initial response often involves the subject of today's episode. I will look around the room and say, “OK, raise your hand if, in general, you would like your board meetings to feel more creative, whatever that means to you?” Every time I've asked this question, more than three quarters of the people in the room raise their hand. And what I'm try: first, that we are all open to trying new things and as a result you probably won't face as much resistance as you think. Second, just asking a show of hands question requires basically no permission, gets you immediate and valuable information, and in itself injects a bit of active and creative engagement into the flow of a meeting. Creativity doesn't have to be difficult or complicated or transformative. But it does have to push you outside the range of normal behaviour.

A common refrain in climbing is that the more you climb, the better you get. But all of us know some old crusty who has been climbing for 45 years and is stuck at mid 5.10.
