Board Operations & Systems

Project details

What we need
  • Assessment of existing board procedure, policy, set of guidelines, or system
  • Creation of one document outlining one procedure, policy, operations, or set of guidelines, for example: bylaws, board meeting procedure, succession planning guidelines, committee policies, board member orientation handbook, etc.
Additional details

I'm seeking assistance with the review and revision of a very old and out-of-date Board Manual.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a dtaft manual, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have other policies and precedures, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $10,298 , allowing us to provide dental procedures and other medical care for the many senior pets we are caring for.

Our Board has not updated relevant materials, apart from our bylaws in many years. We need to recruit new members, but want a solid foundation first.
