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 am having my first board meeting at the end of Feb. I want to present to them the bylaws and anything else a board member would need to know.

What we have in place
  • We currently have bylaws, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have articles of incorporation, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $13,348 , allowing us to to safely, responsibly and confidentially operate the organization knowing we have done all the necessary due diligence with an expert.

The organization needs to be built on solid foundation. The deliverable that would come out of this project would inform, unify and support the board who is very important to the organization.
