It seems the longer I do this work, the more opportunities there are for collaboration than for competition. #nonprofits and #communities are ecosystems.

Nonprofit boards that regularly review and update their strategic plans are more adaptive to changing circumstances and emerging opportunities. Flexibility and agility are key. #StrategicReview

The governance committee of a #nonprofit is a workhorse group dedicated to caring for the development of the board and its member's experience. Do you have one?
