Select, Develop, Retain

‘Understand what lies underneath’– Functional diversity has some selection merit, but most board

work will be shaped by natural style and strengths.

‘New board members are shiny but slippery’– Volunteers are not naturally sticky, so Year 1 engagement is

critical to retention.

‘Motivation matters’– Helping isn’t enough, WIIFM is critical. Many volunteer for

personal and professional development, especially Millennials.
