The Board Governance Navigator

Transform your board's good intentions into clear plans for growth—in less than 30 minutes.

You're proud of your organization and deeply committed to its mission. But if you're honest, your board isn't operating at the level you need. Maybe meetings focus on operational details instead of strategic direction. Maybe some members are disengaged while others carry too much. Maybe fundraising expectations are unclear, or your board composition doesn't reflect the community you serve.

You've tried to shift the dynamic. You've had conversations, sent articles, adjusted agendas. But things haven't actually gotten better—and that weighs on you.

Here's what's at stake: When your board lacks clarity about its role and responsibilities, you miss opportunities for growth, talented staff burn out from constant firefighting, and board members disengage from governance work they don't fully understand. Most importantly, it means the people you serve can't fully benefit from all that your organization is uniquely positioned to offer.

The good news? Small changes can equal big results for your board.

The Board Governance Navigator helps you focus where it matters most. This self-assessment tool guides you through four essential governance domains:

Setting Direction and Strategy

Ensuring Necessary Resources

Board Operations

Oversight and Accountability

With this guide, you'll:

  • Identify your board's current position across four key governance domains

  • Develop a vision for success by seeing what's possible at each level

  • Discover ways to partner with your leadership to move the work forward

  • Gain clarity on your next steps with concrete examples of what advancement looks like

All in less than 30 minutes.
