Board Organizational Guidelines
Project details
What we need
- Review of current board policies and procedures
- Document outlining best practices for meetings and communication, including cadence and tool recommendations
Additional details
Our organization has no formal board policies and procedures so we would like to develop them as part of this process. We would also like to develop a board member policies and procedures manual that covers all aspects of serving on the board.
What we have in place
- We currently have organizational bylaws, a business/strategic plan, minutes, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a report from a survey/analysis of board members' skills, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $8,052 , allowing us to offer more anger management/ mentoring sessions for the youth and young adult males our programs target.
New (or prospective) board members need to understand their roles and responsibilities to function as efficiently and effectively as possible. A board manual containing board policies and procedures, board positions and duties, organizational goals and objectives, etc., for presentation to new and current board members, will allow for more informed board members and help achieve that objective.
Project plan
Our mission
Like most large cities, Oakland is facing a crisis of epic proportions. The young males of the community have been neglected as society's castoffs. At a vastly disproportionate rate, they are unemployed/under-employed, living below the poverty level, uneducated, incarcerated and often prisoners within their own neighborhoods, which can resemble warzones. They are overwhelmingly the product of single-mother homes, with little to no guidance and a remarked lack of adult male role models to provide good examples and much needed firm, but caring, discipline. These young men are in desperate need of social and spiritual intervention. There is a void in their lives. If left unattended, it WILL be filled by the streets. Man 2 Man Ministry was created to rescue them from this downward spiral and help fill the void in their lives with positive experiences and hope.
What we do
Man 2 Man - Urban Youth Advocate is a collection of recovery, intervention and educational programs for men that are delivered by men. Man 2 Man - UYA mentors young adult men of all ethnicities between the ages of 10 and 24. The program provides life skills that will help and enhance personal development.
Testimonials
My M2M colleagues and I found Kristalee a total pleasure to work with. She was well-versed in all aspects of the structure, operations and policies and procedures of Boards of Directors (BOD), and provided us with excellent advice and recommendations for development of our M2M Board of Directors' Policies and Procedures Manual. Kristalee was also very flexible with her time to accommodate our very busy schedules and her turnaround time for producing documents was very fast. On behalf of the M2M BOD, thank you Kristalee for your help and counsel. Tim
Man 2 Man is an incredibly inspiring and impactful nonprofit. The Board Chair, Executive Director, and Board Secretary were a pleasure to work with - responsive, engaged, and mission-driven.
