Your Board members are the guardians who guide your nonprofit through sound governance. How do you identify and recruit the best Board member candidates possible for your organization? Once you find them, how do you keep them? How do you train them? What skill sets will you be looking for in a prospective Board member? It is a lot of hard work to create a Board, maintain it and improve it, but that is what we're going to be speaking about today. In this episode, we speak with Board expert Dave Shellenbarger. Dave has served on an amazing list of Boards and learned from a wide range of nonprofit professionals about the many opportunities that can be created through professional nonprofit leadership. His focus is on Board development and improvement, brand development, and stakeholder messaging for new and emerging nonprofits.

Nonprofit news for the week of Jan 24th, 2022.   ‘Red Flags' At Nonprofit Backing U.S. Capitol Rioters Experts see lots to worry about with the far-right endorsed Patriot Freedom Fund, a registered nonprofit organization fundraising money to support people charged with crimes involving the events of January 6th, 2021. As reported by NPR, the fund, led by an avid supporter of the U.S. Capitol rioters, and backed by far-right nationalists (chiefly Steve Bannon) , is sourcing donations using cryptocurrency. However, many nonprofit experts and even backers themselves are upset with the lack of transparency, lack of independent oversight, and potential failure to meet legal requirements. Laurie Styron, chief executive of rating organization CharityWatch, said the fund would undoubtedly receive a failing grade.

My guest for this episode is Kim Mosiman. In 2009, Kim – a practice manager and veterinary technician – with Columbia Equine Hospital's veterinarian, Dr. Scott Hansen, founded Sound Equine Options. They founded it to assist the growing number of area horse owners who could no longer afford to properly care for their animals. Since 2009, Sound Equine Options has grown into a licensed rescue focusing on ending the cycle of abuse, neglect, abandonment, and suffering for local horses. Sound Equine Options assists with law enforcement cases, often in partnership with the Oregon Humane Society. They currently have working relationships with law enforcement agencies in several counties in Oregon and Clark and Klickitat counties in Washington. By caring for abused, neglected, and abandoned horses, Sound Equine Options fills a great need not met by local or state governments, which often lack the resources needed to address the increasing numbers of unwanted horses. Here's what to expect during the episode: Unwanted horses: The role of nonprofit equine rescue and sanctuary organizations. What are the different types of horse rescue? What are common problems that occur with founder CEOs? Why must a nonprofit organization develop a clear mission? Why choose board members that will go along with you and those that deal well with change? And much more! Connect with Kim Mosiman!

141: Nonprofit Success in an Age of Disruption (Dave Lenox)SUMMARYMany nonprofits experience periods of volitivity as a result of leadership turnover. Covid has accelerated some nonprofit leaders to leave an organization after many years of service. In episode #141 of Your Path to Nonprofit Leadership, Dave Lenox, a former nonprofit executive director and current managing partner at The Valtas Group, explains the numerous resources available to organizations during these transitions.  He and Patton discuss how a firm like Valtas provides guidance and stability during a turbulent time.  Retaining an interim leadership position allows a board to be forward thinking, not reactive, when assessing their current needs and the overall direction of the organization and how it executes its mission. Dave dispels the misnomer of consultants who “come in with all the answers” by explaining the analysis he performs, the results of many of those findings, and how a unique team of listeners work in collaboration with existing personnel and board members to help find their own solutions.  You'll also learn how regular personal self-evaluation and reflection help guide nonprofit leaders through difficult transitions.  And finally, Dave introduces us to the Distributed Leadership Model.  He shares why more organizations are embracing this new management philosophy and how it may already be morphing into a new system of delegation.ABOUT DAVEDave is an experienced leader with a demonstrated history of working in the non-profit, change management, and organization design and management fields. He's skilled in international relations, inclusive governance models, organizational development, social media, and training with a Master of Business Leadership focused in Organization and Change Management from Capella University. Before joining The Valtas Group, Dave served as President and CEO of Special Olympics Washington. Dave began with Special Olympics (SO) in 1985 as Area Director for the Kansas City, Missouri area, later becoming Executive Director for SO West Virginia, and in 1989 he became CEO for SO North Carolina. In 1997 Dave was recruited to join the Headquarters office of SO as Director of Athlete Leadership Programming. He was the key strategist in the effort to develop leadership and education initiatives that support and advance the work of the Special Olympics Movement. EPISODE TOPICS & RESOURCES In Search of Excellence & Excellence Now by Tom PetersFind out more about The Valtas GroupCan you sharpen your vision by planning a personal retreat?

Last week, lawyers for PLS.com and the National Association of Realtors had oral arguments in front of a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals panel about whether NAR's ban on pocket listings, which are listings not posted on the Multiple Listings Service, violates antitrust law. PLS.com claimed that their product – high-end listings strewn across the country – was effectively ruined by NAR requiring its 1.5 million members to post on the MLS.PLS.com's case was dismissed by a lower court, but the company's appeal drew interesting allies. One is the U.S. Justice Department, which filed an amicus brief arguing that the lower court erred. Another is the Washington-based American Antitrust Institute.The author of that brief, Laura Alexander, vice president of policy for the group, declared that NAR is a monopoly. Whether it is a monopoly harmful to society, Alexander said, should not be judged just on how home sellers and buyers are impacted but real estate agents in general.Alexander expounded on her arguments for today's episode of HousingWire Daily. She also discussed with HousingWIre real estate reporter Matthew Blake why NAR is feeling the heat now, and what will come of the multi-pronged legal scrutiny against the trade group.

You may think the first step in building a corporate relations program is prospecting and calling businesses. But what about truly understanding the problem that you are solving, and the community that you serve? Creating effective corporate relationships is more than just a financial transaction. Many corporations seek to build holistic relationships with nonprofits to pursue social change. Tammy Charles, a self-proclaimed "social change geek" (love that!) is on a mission to help nonprofits initiate, develop, and sustain their corporate relationships by producing strategic alliances that not only drive revenue but innovation and social impact.  She has raised over $10 million in financial and nonfinancial capital in her career in nonprofit and consulting through building cross-sector partnerships, creating innovative business models, and helping organizations develop and craft clear strategies and goals. Here are some of the topics we discussed:Ways in which you can build authentic relationships with the people and communities that you serveHow to position your organization for major corporate investments and partnershipsHow to start building your corporate relations strategy Why nonprofits have to pivot away from events and galas into more innovative strategiesA Tammy quotable:  "Be willing to build relationships with the people that you're serving, Build authentic relationships.

And when you do, you'll realize that the the solutions lie within them."Connect with Tammy: https://twitter.com/tamcharliehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/tammycharles/https://www.instagram.com/tammcharlie/Website: www.iamtammy.comDo me a favor?

Michael Benson joins #Clockedin with Jordan Edwards and discusses about burning visual experiences and the creation of his Nonprofit Visual Experiences. In this episode we discuss how to "Burn Visual Experiences" and Jordan did burn his first moment while being with Michael that day. The Visual Experience Foundation is a faith based organization that recognizes the personal struggle with powerlessness associated with being diagnosed  with an eye disease that currently is considered unstoppable and does not offer a cure.  Our founders personal journey being diagnosed with Glaucoma at birth in 1961 knows first hand the seldom discussed effects this fear of being blind one day can drive decisions that may a negative impact on ones life.  At first glance VEF is an amazing visual opportunity to save memories taking those who are losing their sight to have a visual “Burn It” experience that will last beyond physical sight, However VEF is so much more. During the “sight visits” there is fellowship and identification that takes place that only someone going through this particular challenge in life can identify with. Learning to live in the day and not in a made up future in our minds that always has the worse outcome. Our goal is to never miss whats right in front of us worrying about tomorrow. VEF's focus is to lift and impact lives while teaching as many as possible that they can live in the power and not in the fear regardless of circumstances.Michael has taken individuals going blind and blind to the grand canyon, Niagara falls, the Goodyear blimp and much more. To learn more about Michael Benson: Michael Benson Website: https://www.visualexperiencefoundation.org/Hope you find value in this.

Today's episode of Financially Naked: Stories from The Financial Gym, two of our Certified Financial Trainers, Myriam and Kadri, sit down to talk about 8 strategies for paying down debt. Whether it's consumer debt, student loans, medical debt, personal loans, or some combination of these, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. Myriam and Kadri talk about concrete action steps you can take to tackle debt and break the cycle.   Podcast Notes STOP USING YOUR CARDS - The most important step of getting out of credit card debt is to stop adding more debt.  Kadri often talks to his clients about credit card psychology. Using debit cards while on a debt payoff journey will help you reduce spending. When you spend on a credit card, that balance increases. When numbers go up, we get a good feeling. We only have to pay the bill one time at the end of the month, instead of feeling the money leave with each transaction. It can be a challenge, but here are some tips to make the transition easier:  Take them out of your wallet if you can. Forget chasing credit card points - it isn't worth the interest and the larger minimum payment  Unlink cards to convenience apps like Uber and DoorDash Chase Sapphire Preferred gives you DashPass, the membership program to DoorDash. While this may help you reduce fees, remember that if you are ultimately going to pay interest then any deal can't offset that! There are cases where you have to use your credit card. Maybe you don't have an emergency fund and putting something on your cards will be the difference between caring for a sick family member or not. If you truly want to break the cycle, you need to also work towards an emergency fund FOCUS ON BUILDING AN EMERGENCY FUND BEFORE AGGRESSIVELY PAYING DOWN DEBT  This is the best way to break the debt cycle  If you've heard the phrase “pay yourself first,” this is an example of that. If you are constantly using your spare cash exclusively towards debt and something major comes up, you'll have to rely on your credit cards This can take time. Saving money is a grind, and that's totally okay!  Though you won't earn a ton of interest, it's worth it to build this insurance policy to prevent you from using cards. However, there are still ways to be mindful of the interest you're paying - one is through the debt avalanche approach. THE DEBT AVALANCHE APPROACH  Tackle the highest interest debt first. If you have an extra $500 to put somewhere (and your emergency fund is fully funded), use that total amount and put it towards one debt, rather than spreading it across a few. This is mathematically the best way to pay down debt if you're going to make additional payments.  You may not like math, but you can use it to your advantage by paying down your highest interest rate debt first by putting extra money towards it.  You can reduce your debt payments even further with a few tools - one I would consider a little tricky, which is debt settlement, and one I would consider more straightforward, which is balance transfer cards and personal loans.  The Snowball Method is another option for paying down debt. Instead of working on the highest interest debt, extra payments are made to the smallest balance debt. This method works well for a lot of people. It comes down to knowing yourself and using whichever method works for you! DEBT SETTLEMENT VS. DEBT MANAGEMENT  Debt Settlement The pros: you can potentially reduce the amount of money you need to pay for your debts, and you can use the money you were spending on debt minimums to save for your emergency fund or make ends meet. The cons: your creditors may not agree with debt settlement, your credit score will likely tank, and you could be charged more debt and fees. This is also tricky because you can get in hot water if you choose to not pay your debt obligations to have more bargaining power in the settlement. There are other somewhat shady companies that handle the debt settlement process for you. What they provide is nothing that you can't do yourself. Always be careful and ask a lot of questions when looking into these companies.  They'll typically ask you to still make monthly payments that they save on your behalf so they can pay the reduced amount for you later. Debt Management  In contrast with debt settlement companies and strategies, there are debt management nonprofits that work with your creditors on your behalf to help lower interest rates, lower fees, and sometimes monthly payments.  They help you keep your credit from suffering if you're struggling with your monthly payments and can work with you to create better cash management habits  It's important to do your research and ask questions. ‘Nonprofit' does not mean they have your best interest in mind. At the end of the day, it is a corporate filing.  They look at your full debt picture. If you have cards open, they require you to shut down your cards, keeping just one open. They have relationships with lenders and will go to them and negotiate the interest on your behalf. Instead of paying the lenders directly, the minimum payment goes to the nonprofit. Programs like this have advantages, but you can also do this on your own, though it takes some time and you might have to make a few rounds of phone calls.  If you miss a payment, all bets are off. You cannot miss a payment. There is risk there, but that's pretty much how it goes.  There are other ways to lower your interest and / or your monthly payments. They are balance transfer cards and personal loans BALANCE TRANSFER AND PERSONAL LOANS  Balance transfer cards usually offer a 0% or lower APR, and you move the balance from one card onto this new one, giving you more time to pay down the debt.  While helpful to reduce interest payments, this can enable you to spend more because you now have more available credit.  Before consolidating, make sure to give yourself some time to get used to a new spending plan that is sustainable for your income. Knowing yourself and your habits is important.  To find a list of BFF Approved Balance Transfer cards, check out this page!  Nerdwallet is also a great resource when looking for cards.  If you already have credit cards, there may be balance transfer options available, so make sure to check those out when you do your research. INCREASE YOUR INCOME This can come from getting a promotion, switching jobs, getting a second job, or starting a side hustle (with low to no startup costs).  Earning more money is something Kadri encourages all of his clients to do. It's easier said than done, but Trainers see it all the time with their clients. They'll get a new job with a 40k salary increase or really advocate for themselves and get a raise in their current roles.   Think about all of your talents, expertise, and get creative when thinking about how you can make more money.  Once you start making more money, be mindful of lifestyle creep. It's important to know yourself and have a plan in place.  Take a look at your expenses and ensure they're helping you reach your debt repayment goals. When it comes to building wealth, look at both sides: increasing income and reducing expenses is the key. REDUCE EXPENSES  The first step, add up all of your fixed expenses, including debt minimums. How much is left over for your variable expenses, savings, and extra debt repayment? There is a minimum you want to have for your variable expenses, especially in high cost of living areas.  When Myriam makes financial plans, she aims to have at least $860 per month or $200 per week for variable expenses. The bare minimum for lower cost of living areas is about $530 per month or $125 per week.  It can feel like a lot of sacrifice. You want to check in with yourself and ensure your physical and mental wellness is being taken care of.  It's easier said than done. There is only so much that can be cut.  Closing the gap between your income and spending is the only way to truly break out of the debt cycle. It is a process and takes time. Be patient and find what works for you. DON'T BE AFRAID TO CONSIDER BANKRUPTCY  Bankruptcy gets a bad reputation, but it can be an amazing tool, especially if your debt to income ratio is 50% or above.  A quick rundown on bankruptcy: it gives you a lot of protection. Your creditors cannot contact you, sue you, put liens on your property or garnish your wages. You can also sometimes be protected from any income tax penalties for the forgiven debt. It is a tremendous tool to give yourself a clean slate. Once you have gone through the process, the debt is gone.  It is a long process and can take months. While bankruptcy does not need to be scary, it should be taken seriously. You can only declare bankruptcy every ten years, so having a plan of action for once the debt is clear is incredibly important!  Martinis and Your Money Episodes about bankruptcy  Declaring Bankruptcy with Colleen  Life After Bankruptcy with Natalie Jean Baptiste  From The Financially Free Blog:  How to File For Bankruptcy  THE BIG TAKEAWAY:  Stop using your credit cards (if you can, and there are some situations where you temporarily have to) Build your Emergency fund Debt avalanche approach Debt management vs settlement Debt consolidation using tools like balance transfer cards and personal loans Increasing your income Reducing your expenses Don't be afraid to consider bankruptcy One of the newest programs at The Financial Gym is our Trainer on Demand, where you can schedule a call every month to chat with a Certified Financial Trainer.

140: A Nonprofit Leader's Guide to Boosting Board Engagement (Lea Williams)  SUMMARYThe best nonprofit leaders create and maintain strategic partnerships between themselves, their staff, and their board. If you are looking to take your board to the next level, check out episode #140 of the Path Podcast where Dr. Lea Williams and I discuss five tactics for creating and sustaining a dynamic board of directors. Building off our work together with multiple boards, our conversations with our Mastermind participants, and Lea's background as a meetings scientist, we reflect on characteristics of successful boards and how nonprofit leaders can cultivate a higher level of engagement with these important stakeholders. We discuss the importance of creating confident ambassadors, clarifying board member responsibilities through onboarding, building comfort around the organization's financial model, building a pipeline of board leaders through year-round recruiting, and hitting “reset” on your board meetings. Listen for these strategies and other tactical recommendations to help with your nonprofit board development efforts. ABOUT LEALea is an Organizational Scientist who joined the PMA team in June of 2020. Prior to joining the firm, she dedicated her time to two main areas: earning her Ph.D. in Organizational Science from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and serving 15+ nonprofits through pro-bono consulting engagements through the Volunteer Program Assessment. In addition to her nonprofit work, while obtaining her Doctorate, Lea also worked in several Talent Management/Organizational Development roles at large organizations in Charlotte, such as Ingersoll Rand, Duke Energy, TIAA, and Jacobsen. Given her strong research background, she is skilled at gathering input and synthesizing it to help nonprofit leaders develop innovative solutions. Her specialties include meeting effectiveness (the subject of her dissertation), leadership, board, and staff training and development, data analysis, strategic planning, survey design, stakeholder research, and volunteer retention/engagement. She also received her Master's in Industrial-Organizational Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and her bachelor's degree in Psychology from Davidson College. EPISODE TOPICS & RESOURCESLea's previous episode (#59: 5 Keys to Leading Dynamic Virtual Meetings) Priya Parker's book The Art of GatheringCal Newport's book A World Without Email Lea's work at PMA through consulting and meeting facilitation

Nonprofit leaders and staff alike face unique challenges that often place a strain on their mental health. With everything that we have our plates, how can we prioritize wellness? How can we create safe places at work to have these conversations, even when we may be struggling ourselves? My guest this week is Ian Adair - TEDx and keynote speaker, 3 time nonprofit CEO, recognized leadership and nonprofit management expert, and author. Ian brings an honest and open first-hand perspective to the topic of mental health, having faced his own anxiety and depression, and having watched family members face addiction and suicide attempts. He wrote the book Stronger Than Stigma, A Call To Action - Stories of Grief, Loss, and Inspiration to share stories of ordinary people in extraordinary situations and help break down stigmas around mental health issues.  Here are some of the topics we discussed:How leadership has changed in the last two years due to demographic shifts and employee expectations (and what nonprofits need to consider)Ways to support emerging and established leaders in this "new normal"The inspiration for his book and the personal story behind his own struggleHow we can start to advocate for more mental health resources in the sector and in our own workplaces An Ian Adair quotable: "If leaders want to be supportive, start by normalizing conversations about mental health... The goal for leaders should always be to promote the acceptance and inclusion of those dealing with a mental health related issue and they can do this by just improving support systems. They can do this by spreading awareness when possible. They can do this by creating an environment of safety for discussions to take place."

HIGHLIGHTSLeaning on spirituality for police work Can spirituality fill the gap between police officers and the community?Quitting the police force and ruminations on use of force Surfing as a way to decompress for service personnelBridging the gap between community and police through surfingMaking waves and reaching more communities QUOTESRobert: "Spirituality is just a thread you're constantly trying to reel, in to keep yourself grounded and whatever that might be, so that you can remain good, and you can remain of service and not look at the world through this kind of, jaded lens."Robert: "You really need to lean in to your values and spirituality in order to hold on to that humanity. Far too often, people in that profession, and you often see that in veterans as well, just put up this wall where they just can't take anymore and they just become a robot. And, they have no emotion. They can't be empathetic to people. And that's when you get the bad outcome." Scott: "Spirituality at least, arguably, connects us to something larger. But, I would be utterly remiss, particularly in this day and age, if I didn't point out that in many communities, there is a profound disconnect between the officers that are serving the communities, and the members of the communities themselves." Robert: "Police, fire, veterans, military, they are constantly in a state of hypervigilance, right? Always looking over their shoulder, whether it's for physical violence, or safety, or to help  somebody. They always wanna radio. Some of them carry a weapon. We're constantly scanning, and worrying and then guess what, your family is there and they're pinging you."Robert: "I want to continue for SWEL to be, and it says in our strategic plan that we're stewards of the community. We're providing inclusive opportunities for other communities to experience this and maybe experience this with a service man or woman as well. Really, my vision is to scale and to continue to make trips and perhaps even have dedicated spot at the beach to where we have everything lined up."  To find out more about Robert, please see the links below.Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-sanderson-44419b1a9/Website: https://www.theswel.org/Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/TheSWELmission/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theswelmission/To hear more of Scott Mason and the Purpose Highway™ podcast, join our community at https://purposehighway.com/ and subscribe to get notified when new episodes go live.
