Board Structures & Role Definitions
Project details
What we need
- Document outlining relationship of board to your organization and metrics of board success
- Document outlining scope of roles within board, including empty seats if applicable
Additional details
We're looking to refresh our board and would love some guidance on structure and roles!
What we have in place
- We currently have by-laws and a board handbook, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have an idea of what we're trying to build, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $10,732 , allowing us to expand our field season and take more people out to dig dinosaurs!
This is essential to our ability to achieve success and our growth. We want an engaged board, but we also have to be able to give them the resources to help us. This roadmap will help us start.

Testimonials
If you have the opportunity to work with Brian, don't hesitate! I've never met anyone with his wealth of knowledge about building successful boards and implementing effective board policies. He used his vast personal experience of being on boards and working with nonprofits to evaluate our initial position, and provided us with excellent, actionable recommendations to help improve our strategy. I honestly just can't believe that he provided these in-depth services on a volunteer basis! Thank you so much for everything, Brian!
BBPI is doing a fantastic job of keeping dinosaurs alive, if only in our hearts and minds. Their small, incredibly capable staff is working wonders not in developing their board of directors, but also in exceptional program execution. A special shout-out to Devon, their Development Director. She is an incredibly knowledgeable, talented nonprofit professional...perfect candidate for cloning, she's amazing!
