Podcasts about board retreat

Wait! A NEW type of board retreat!? One that's more engaging and more effective? No way. Check this out . . . ED's and board chairs know the routine all too well: gather the board in a nice setting, walk through the strategic plan, review the budget, and set some goals. There may be catered lunches and polished presentations, but often, even the most well-run retreats feel like slightly upgraded board meetings. The question is, how do you create a retreat that is energizing, inspiring, and transformative? One that sticks. The answer lies in a bold, refreshing approach: "experiential learning." Instead of passive listening and linear agendas, this method engages board members in real-world, mission-focused experiences that foster emotional connection, insight, and camaraderie. It's about stepping out of the boardroom and into the heart of the organization's mission—literally. Listen in on how to host an experiential board retreat . . .

A non-profit is required to have a board of directors to ensure proper governance, oversight, and compliance with legal and ethical standards. Enjoy the Show.

A board retreat is a wonderful opportunity for board members to get to know each other, to plan for the upcoming year, or discuss an important topic in depth.

Have you ever sat through a board retreat and spent more time watching the clock, daydreaming, and checking texts than listening to the facilitator? Are your board members cringing at the thought of attending another retreat? Did your last facilitator stand behind a lectern and drone on like a record playing in slow motion? Were they unengaging? Was the content dull and irrelevant? Did the outcomes of the day grow stale and ultimately have little impact on your board? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, it's time to find a new facilitator. But how do you choose? Listen in to this checklist of attributes you can use when scouting for the “best” board retreat facilitator.

Nonprofits play a critical role in addressing societal issues, but their effectiveness often hinges on the strength of their leadership, especially the board. One way to enhance the performance of a nonprofit's board of directors is by organizing retreats. They can improve engagement, performance, governance, fundraising skills, all of which can propel the organization to the next level of impact. This is all the more reason to hire a high-quality retreat facilitator. And though you may feel it's risky to hire a facilitator from outside your region, it may also be a game-changer. Sure, it's nice to keep things local, but sometimes you get what you pay for . . . which, in some cases, can mean mediocre results. Retreats and planning sessions are too important to skimp on. Listen in and learn seven compelling reasons why you should consider looking beyond your region or state when searching for your next retreat facilitator.

2021 - 10 - 29 Board Retreat by Alameda Health System

To get the new season going following the summer break, Sara chats with Colette Gelwicks, this year's Congregational President. Listen in for a conversation on leadership styles: how there is no one style that works best, how collective effort is ultimately more important than individual effort, and how we might challenge ourselves to stay open to shifting our ways of thinking about how leadership looks and feels. Colette also tells us what the Board is up to so far coming out of this summer's Board Retreat, and about how moving back and forth between the U.S. and Germany has taught her to be flexible and open in life, even when it's difficult.  Interested in the current work of the Board?

Daffodils are blooming and the days are warmer, and that means that people are starting to think about getting together in person. More specifically, boards are thinking about gathering for a board retreat. In this episode, Nancy and Sarah implore board members not to pull out their old retreat agenda but to use this opportunity to refresh their purpose, culture, and focus. We talk about what a retreat is and isn't. We share how the Nonprofit Radio Show principles can guide a board in building an effective board retreat schedule. Questions to reflect on before you listen:What would you do if you had a day with your board together in one place?  

We discuss why boards matter, when to have a board retreat, how retreats have gone virtual, and what it takes to make a retreat a home run.

Last week I promised to let you know how things went with my board retreat, and here it is. The main things I would have done differently are: Allow a good 30 minutes at the beginning for chit-chat, people's late arrival, and getting coffee/breakfast Set the expectation that some discussion may be curtailed in the interest of time, if we feel we have all the info needed Schedule 1-2 more hours for the retreat to ensure that we got through everything and had plenty of time for making decisions and commitments at the end.  This week's episode also has a Q&A from a listener.

Seeing Whiteness? (February 24, 2019) Our Board said an overarching goal at this summer’s Board Retreat — to seek and serve “wholeness” among us. It is a particularly important goal to keep in mind as we look, in our just-beginning strategic planning process, at the future of who we wish to be and what it will mean to get there. Part of that work has meant for many of us to begin to unpack what is hard to see and name — the water we swim in, the culture that forms us and we reinforce unless we are careful, the power and privilege and protected class of whiteness. Rev. Vanessa Rush Southern, Senior Minister Rev. Alyson Jacks, Associate Minister Sam King, Worship Associate Dr. Mark Sumner, Choir Director Reiko Oda Lane, Organist Alan Alpert, tenor Wm.

This is the first episode leading into new segment that I hope to continue throughout the year! Let’s Talk Sisterhood was an idea that stems from a simple conversation between friends. Sisterhood is needed and necessary and we need to talk more about! Hear a story from a vision board retreat that I attended recently that just blessed my whole soul.

In this conversation hear from Lance Shealy, Western NC Multi-Area Director with 25 years of FCA experience, and Chris Brauns, National Sales Manager at Blue Ridge Molding and local FCA Board Chair, about great benefits of hosting an annual FCA board retreat.  

The board retreat is among the most important steps of your strategic planning process. This episode shares techniques to ensure your board retreat fully engages participants in the planning process.
