Board meetings are where the hard work happens. Nonprofit leaders spend countless hours assembling dedicated and energetic individuals who are asked to roll up their sleeves and show up with knowledge, experience, thoughtful insights, intellectual curiosity and an open mind. And with those tools they are put to task to think deeply, have frank discussions, solve problems, and make sometimes difficult decisions. This work is challenging and sometimes grueling. It requires courage, trust, dedication, and a steadfast sense of shared duty in service of the beacon that is the organization's mission.
