From Relatives to Results

Building a Board That Works

Ever found yourself saying, “I can’t get my board to do anything…” — only to realize your “board” is your daughter, your husband (when he’s not busy), and your 17-year-old son?


You’re not alone. 


It’s common for nonprofit founders to recruit family members just to meet the minimum board requirement—but when it's time to fundraise, strategize, or grow… crickets. 


Here’s the truth: A board should be more than supportive—it should be strategic. Your mission deserves people who are ready to roll up their sleeves, bring expertise to the table, and help carry the vision forward. 


So how do you build a board that actually shows up and contributes? 


Join us at Sunday Social: Building Bridges Nonprofit Mixer on Sunday, August 10, and learn from real nonprofit leaders who’ve been exactly where you are.


You’ll walk away with practical tools, honest insight, and maybe even your next board member.
