The strength of your organization starts at the top.
Build a winning partnership between your board and your executive director with this 90-day intensive series.
This program focuses on nonprofit leadership, coupling board presidents and/or other leadership with executive directors to examine and strengthen their working relationship with respect to the successful development of their nonprofit organizations.

operational concerns, including who is responsible for what
program development especially reaching the mission-related goals

Program and Summary
“Vicki calls it as she sees it. Sometimes you just need somebody with a bit of distance to help you see when your habits, structure or practices aren’t serving the execution of your mission. Vicki brings a wealth of experience from interacting with many nonprofits and many boards across the years. Whether it is board practices, fundraising, or organizational dynamics, she has the experience (and the advice) to help you move to the next level. I trust her more than anyone to identify the practices that help my organization succeed.”
– Patrick Herron, Executive Director of the Mystic River Watershed Association

“This program united us during a time of so much uncertainty and provided tools to help us think thoughtfully and strategically about the future of our organization. Engaging with a cohort of non-profit leaders provided incredible insight into how others were working together to build up their organization and the individualized sessions with Vicki allowed us the unique opportunity to truly dive into aspects of our organization where we needed support. I feel very fortunate to have been able to take part in this series and will carry the lessons learned far into the future.”
