BOARD EVOLUTION & EDUCATION

Ready to raise the bar for board performance? At GLP, we go beyond, and even challenge, the conventional advice offered to not-for-profit boards.

If your Board is ready to add and create value in ways that transcend fundraising or technical fiduciary work, we help you take stock of where you are, where you want to go, and how to get there. We offer consultation, practical advice, tools, and approaches so you can continuously evolve your board.

Evolving the board is a process, and while no one board or organization is the same, we’ve identified essential elements of a successful approach and designed new methods for engaging leaders and board members in building an even more effective board—for today and for the future.

We work with you to:

We engage, educate, and inspire board members in customized and facilitated education and onboarding sessions grounded in the needs of your organization. We coach you to think strategically, consider how to create and add value, develop talent, and identify the mindsets, skills, and abilities you’ll need to govern for the future.
