This article provides a great overview of what to wear the next time you are under the glare of the TV cameras.
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.

Do you serve on a board of directors and experience significant inaccuracies and inconsistencies in board minutes?

Inspiring Innovation & Creativity through Business Systems
Ok, I admit: "I am a big fan of systems, Its all about Systems". It could just be the Mechanical Engineer and Business Analyst coming out in me, but it goes much deeper than that. It is definitely grounded in my recent experiences with systems. We are surrounded by systems, and our lives revolve around them and rely on them working infallibly. The cars (or motorbikes) we drive, the computers we use and the human bodies we live in, are all brilliantly refined and intricate systems that we use everyday. We expect them to work predictably and consistently every time we use them.

The Board's Role in Fundraising
“Should my board help me raise funds?” The obvious answer is yes, of course they should! Now comes the hard part. Getting the board to actually raise money is a lot tougher than simply saying they should. Many nonprofits, of all sizes and types of mission, overlook the basic steps necessary to engage the board in effective fundraising.

Five Ways to Maximize Your Time When Social Networking
Social networking has been around in some shape or form since the late 1970s, when users could dial into Bulletin Board Systems to communicate with others sharing common interests. With the development of the World Wide Web in the 1990s, these systems have been supplanted by more sophisticated systems, leading up to today’s widely popular social networking sites. A person could easily spend several hours per week (or even per day) checking out new sites, maintaining connections, and updating his or her profiles. Although effective social networking can and does lead to business opportunities, unfortunately, the activity itself will not generate any income, so it’s important to use your online time effectively. Here are five tips to help you do just that.

When you have a board of directors, it is always a good idea to have a Board Member Manual.
