Abstract
The article discusses the importance of having a skilled, diverse, and engaged board of directors for nonprofit organizations, especially in times of financial uncertainty and political changes. Leaders like Romona Jackson emphasize the negative impact of disengaged board members on organizational success. Strategies such as clarifying board roles, setting term limits, and recruiting members with diverse skills and backgrounds are highlighted as crucial for effective board governance. The article also stresses the significance of diversity and inclusivity efforts within boards to better serve the communities nonprofits aim to support. [Extracted from the article]
