How do you build your development board?
Your mission is too important to accept less than the best.
![Page 18: SELECTIVE TEAM RAISING FOR SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISING · The Board Should Expect Certain Things From Its Executive Management •A cooperative and open relationship • Guidance on policy](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051808/600dddf551e5a81078387571/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Effective Recruitment Gets the Right People on Board
• Build a year round nominating committee that recruits people with the skills you need to meet your mission
• Build a skills matrix to help identify the kinds of expertise you are seeking• Host a ‘Focus Group” to help bubble up interested parties• Invite guests to attend a board meeting or two or to host a presentation • Great Donors make great Board Members (They are already true believers!)• Look for people of Influence and Affluence • Look for effective skill sets• Investigate Parish Newcomers• Let prospects know right from the beginning why you want them on your board
![Page 19: SELECTIVE TEAM RAISING FOR SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISING · The Board Should Expect Certain Things From Its Executive Management •A cooperative and open relationship • Guidance on policy](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051808/600dddf551e5a81078387571/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Effective Self-Management Keeps Them There• Know your ‘product’ • Maintain transparency (and your board’s trust) • Set meeting dates a year in advance and don’t change
them• Conduct productive meetings where every voice is heard
and counts• Ask individual members to “report out” at each meeting• Review previous minutes and be sure all ‘to dos’ are done• Encourage discussion and avoid the Rubber Stamp• Have a Purposeful Agenda where All Participate• Keep meetings in the designated time frame• Create a welcoming, collegiate and professional
atmosphere

Three Traps of the Board Composition Matrix
![Page 25: SELECTIVE TEAM RAISING FOR SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISING · The Board Should Expect Certain Things From Its Executive Management •A cooperative and open relationship • Guidance on policy](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051808/600dddf551e5a81078387571/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
1. The Skills Trap• If your organization needs help with social media, a Public Relations executive who assists local
manufacturing companies with their corporate sales content may not be as valuable to your board as the savvy part time editor of the church bulletin or the journalism professor at the area community college.
o The emphasis on skills and position often leaves out experience, knowledge and perspective . . and implies that only professionals are qualified to be on boards.
• Instead of focusing on skills: focus on actions needed. Look for someone who can and will help adapt our website and utilize Instagram rather than looking for a PR guru who is already being tapped by every other nonprofit.
![Page 26: SELECTIVE TEAM RAISING FOR SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISING · The Board Should Expect Certain Things From Its Executive Management •A cooperative and open relationship • Guidance on policy](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051808/600dddf551e5a81078387571/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
2. The Inclusivity Trap ● Instead: focus on actions needed. Do we need someone who can reach the Arab grocers
association to get their support for the plastic bag ban? Do we need someone who can help recruit Spanish speaking Big Brothers?
○ Nearly all boards feel weighed down by demographic diversity imperatives. Whether it's a mostly white board thinking, "we need someone who's black," or an all Asian board thinking, "we don't have anyone from India," too often we end up with someone who lets us check the demographic box but never becomes engaged.
● By adding people to your board with action attributes rather than simply looking for someone who is Arab or Latino, your organization will be viewed as sincerely proactive and the demographics you once sought will come knocking on your door!
![Page 27: SELECTIVE TEAM RAISING FOR SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISING · The Board Should Expect Certain Things From Its Executive Management •A cooperative and open relationship • Guidance on policy](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051808/600dddf551e5a81078387571/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
3. The Connections Trap
• Too often we recruit board members because they are wealthy and know other wealthy people, or because they work for a corporation that we hope will make a corporate grant to us.
• Just because a person makes $25,000 donations to other organizations doesn't mean she wants to make one to your organization. And just because he has wealthy friends doesn't mean he is willing to introduce them to you!
(Of course, if you are being transparent and professional, you have already told your recruit what your expectations are and
that his/her connections are important to your cause)
![Page 28: SELECTIVE TEAM RAISING FOR SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISING · The Board Should Expect Certain Things From Its Executive Management •A cooperative and open relationship • Guidance on policy](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051808/600dddf551e5a81078387571/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Matrix Contrarians advise that instead of building your board solely around a Composition Matrix, we ask ourselves two questions:
What are the three most important things for our board to accomplish this year?
Do we have the right people on the board to make that happen?
![Page 29: SELECTIVE TEAM RAISING FOR SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISING · The Board Should Expect Certain Things From Its Executive Management •A cooperative and open relationship • Guidance on policy](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051808/600dddf551e5a81078387571/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Throw the Matrix Away????

• In the end, everyone has a role to play.
• Every method has a benefit.
• Leave no stone unturned in your board-building strategy toolkit

These expectations are repeated in all communications and can be built into a signed Letter of Intent when a new member comes on board.
