Board Development
The Ramsay Group can help you find or coach up exactly the right people to complete or enhance your board of directors.
-
More than ever, our industry needs effective leaders and valuable contributors on their boards of directors who fit the organization’s goals, values and needs, including high net worth individuals for fundraising efforts.
-
While many leaders recognize the need to diversify their board of directors, they lack the connections and tools to find the right candidates with the right background, resources or vision.
Using the same rigorous process we do for our Executive Search Service, we can help you build a board of directors that more accurately represents the population you serve.
-
First-time or new members of a board of directors aren’t always knowledgeable about their role, governance, or in some cases, the organization itself.
Unprepared board members can hold back an organization.
Our Board Member Coaching can help new, or new-to-you, board members understand their role, best practices and approaches to lead your organization to success.
Case Study
Shahid Guyton, Associate Director, Depaul USA
Conexio Care — a nonprofit providing health care, housing, and employment opportunities in Delaware — reached out to us in need of a new board member. They especially wanted someone who had experience with the challenges faced by the people they serve.
Diana reached out to her contacts at Broadstreet Ministry, a nonprofit where she serves on the board of directors, asking if they knew of someone who had overcome difficult circumstances to become a successful community leader. They pointed her to Shahid Guyton, who overcame homelessness and other challenges to eventually rise to a top-level leadership position at an organization that serves homeless college students.
When we connected Shahid with Conexio Care, it was evident that he was the perfect fit. Shahid continues to contribute unique knowledge and insight into their programs and progress to this day.
