Governance and Board Development

Governance and board development in nonprofit management refer to the processes and practices that ensure an organization is effectively led and accountable. Governance involves establishing policies, making decisions, and ensuring compliance with laws and ethical standards. Board development focuses on recruiting, training, and evaluating board members to enhance their skills and effectiveness. Together, they help nonprofits fulfill their missions, maintain transparency, and build trust within the community. A strong governance structure and a well-developed board are essential for guiding the organization’s strategy, managing resources wisely, and fostering sustainable growth.
