The opportunity to provide dynamic leadership to the nonprofit organization is often compromised when the relationship between the board of directors and executive director falls short of being a constructive partnership. This session will address strategies that can lead to the positive launch of a new relationship or enhance a relationship that has not enjoyed transparent engagement between these two essential components of a healthy nonprofit organization. This session will examine roles and responsibilities, expectations, communication strategies, and performance evaluation.
