Module 10: Board Members are Volunteers
Conclusion
Looking back on Module 10: Board Members are Volunteers, there are a number of concepts and ideas that we would like you to take with you before moving on to the next modules.
Key Takeaways
- Using volunteer management principles to intake members for the Board of Directors provides good tools for successful leadership.
- The intake and orientation process should always define when a board member is acting in their capacity on a board and when they are acting as a frontline or program volunteer.
- Ongoing board and self evaluation is an important responsibility of a board.
- Where volunteer management practices differ from all other volunteer roles is that the tools are adapted and applied by the board itself.
