Leading a nonprofit organization requires active partnership between board members and executives. It involves the art of engaging people in common cause as much as the science of executing plans and strategy. Our deep and varied governance consulting experience supports institutions large and small, established and growing. We help to evolve governance practice to advance organizational goals.

As with everything we do, we work closely and directly with trustee leaders and senior managers to guide your organization forward. Together, we work through complex issues of executive and trustee leadership and board composition, culture, and practices. We facilitate formal governance studies and reviews, develop succession planning frameworks, and craft strategies for engaging new generations of leaders with your organization. We shepherd boards and committees through changing roles and practices.
