Board Governance
Nothing is more fundamental to the success of your nonprofit than the health and engagement of your board.
When Mollard Consulting first began our nonprofit consulting journey, we were focused primarily on fundraising. Over time, we noticed that some organizations were successful in implementing a fundraising strategy, and others were not.
What was the biggest differentiator? Engaged board members who understood their roles and responsibilities and worked in constructive partnership with the chief executive.
As a BoardSource trained and certified facilitator, our founder Kerri Mollard knows the importance of maintaining a healthy, engaged board, and this philosophy is embedded in all we do.
That’s why we are launching Board Building, Central Ohio’s first and only software-supported board matching service that connects prospective board members to nonprofits that align on mutual passions — and prepares both to succeed.
Across all our board governance services, we stand by your side as a partner. We offer honest assessments, help you solve for challenges and leverage opportunities, and do it all with a focus on the relationship building of your chief executive and board members.
Board governance services we provide:
- Board composition and matching
- Board governance counsel
- Board self-assessments
- Board training sessions and retreats
- Bylaws reviews
- Chief executive evaluations
- Mission, vision, values statement reviews
“Mollard Consulting's deep knowledge of board best practices was evident from the jump and helped make the conversation with our board open, collaborative, and goal oriented. We made so much progress in just one day!”
“As an executive director of a nonprofit, I have experienced what can happen when the board and staff are not aligned in their strategic vision. Working with Mollard Consulting allowed us to clearly define our mission, vision, and values and then develop goals to guide us as an organization. Every one of our staff members and trustees know what these goals are, and we are all focused on the same outcomes. Our board meetings are more dynamic, our recruitment process is more intentional and inclusive, and everyone is clear on the role that they play to further our impact.”
“As a young nonprofit with many newer board members, we found the session very helpful to better understand the role of the members and my role as executive director.”
