New Resource to Support Board Engagement in Fundraising
F. Warren McFarlan, professor emeritus at Harvard Business School, has just published the book, Effective Fundraising - The Trustee's Role and Beyond.
What I like about this book is that the author discusses holistically how to improve the performance of your board in the area of fundraising beginning with how your governance committee recruits new board members to how individual trustees can improve their own fundraising skills.
Individual chapters are dedicated to topics on Governance, the Annual Fund, Capital Campaigns, Planned Giving, Events.. with each chapter culminating in a summary section of " Questions a trustee should ask about..." Annual Fund, Capital Campaign or other chapter topic.
The author has significant credibility. The book is based on over 20 years of research and experience from over 40 years of active social enterprise board service. "He shows you the steps and strategies you'll need to understand and secure the funding your mission requires."
Hardcover book is $35; e-book is $21

Every governing body should be prepared to appoint an interim leader, whether it is part of a long-term succession plan or as a risk-management strategy. This webinar will start with the decision to appoint a short-term leader: When does it make the most sense and what are the potential costs and benefits? Then we’ll talk about how and where schools find interim heads based on their circumstances and timing. How does an interim search compare to – and connect with – the search for a long-term appointee? Finally, we’ll share some tips for making the most of an interim’s tenure. What can a board do to maximize excitement and confidence among all stakeholders through an extended leadership transition?
