The integral role of the Board in leading and partnering with the Executive and staff is heightened and magnified in times of crisis and uncertainty. As nonprofits around the country navigate new and rapidly changing realities, Board members must be active and engaged leaders. Boards should partner with the Executive to discuss:

  • Operational contingencies

  • Potential shifts in Board meetings

  • Policy changes to address the wellbeing of staff members and those served by the mission

  • Status of upcoming events
