How "How to Have A Successful Board" Was Born!
I uncovered many of these tactics as a result of my experience serving on 37 board different Board of Directors. My most recent experience was being a member of our Homeowners Association for 6 years and serving as president for the last four years.
I'm a "get involved and make the situation better for everyone" kind of person. And when I started serving on this board, we had our work cut out for us. The deeper I got involved the more I realized that not everyone had the same board experience as I did. In fact, some members had never served on a board. How I wish I would have known that from the beginning.
So I started looking back at what my experience had taught me and put together this program.
Over the years, I studied what good members look like and how they work together. I've learned which approaches work, which approaches fail, and -- here's the secret you won't get anywhere else - specific examples or HOW they work.
