PDF Your Board Package
| |
| Thankfully I no longer get fedexed binders of board packages from my portfolio companies in advance of a board meeting. Through the modern miracle of email, the board packages show up in my inbox – hopefully a few days (rather than a few hours – or even minutes) before the board meeting. The board packages tend to show up in three different formats – one that is easy to deal with, one that is ok, and one that sucks. |

| |
| “Should my board help me raise funds?” The obvious answer is yes, of course they should! Now comes the hard part.

They often have several directorships with companies of differing sizes and usually work part-time. |

Nonprofit Board Member Manuals - What Should You Include?
| |
| When you have a board of directors, it is always a good idea to have a Board Member Manual.

It compiles important documents into one binder, so they don't waste time and energy looking for what they need in several files or locations. Does your organization have a manual for its board members? |
