Attracting, Retaining and Motivating
Your Chapter Board
“I didn’t realize it was such a task to run a chapter.”
“My worst experience was trying to understand people who make a commitment and don’t follow through with that commitment.”
“People need to understand the seriousness of being a leader of NAWBO.”
In applying his research to the social sector, Jim Collins of From
Good to Great fame found the principle of getting and hanging on
to the right people in the first place or the "Who Principle" becomes even more
important.
“Get the right people on the bus. Get energetic, committed people, match
skills and expertise to task.”
Learning Outcomes
Sharing of best practices for attracting, retaining and motivating board members
2011 Leadership Survey
Criteria • Chapter membership of 45 members or more• Maintained or grew membership over the last 2 years or is one of
the largest chapters
Participants - 31 chapter leaders • Presidents• President-Elects• Paid staff at the Executive Director Level and Above
Qualitative Survey of 45 Minutes or Less• Telephone• 10 Questions
Attracting • Be Selective
“The chapter made the mistake of asking for volunteers for the board, big mistake, we sounded desperate, now we approach individuals and position them as a leader.”
“We identify talent and recruit to fill gaps. The board members recruit new board members depending on the fit for a balanced board.”
• Have a Committee Structure“We find out where their passion is and bring them in as a committee chair with 1 or 2 assistants.”
“We try to draw people into committees immediately.”
“Board members grow through committee participation, we encourage delegation, and we believe people grow or go, so we groom as we grow.”
“Our Goal – 2 new people on committees to train as future leaders.”
• Have a succession plan“A succession plan is the cornerstone of growth.”
“We believe in keeping up the momentum. We have 5 people on the board who are under 30. Youth, technology, and balance are important for the future. We need energy!”
• Flexibility• Communicating and Listening• Inspiring Others• Collaborative• Strategic Ability• Business Acumen• Resiliency• Developing Others• Building Networks• Focused
NAWBO Leader Competencies
Retaining• Get Commitment
“I have all my board members write a commitment letter to me in their own words and I email it back to them.”
“Be very personal – I met with each person invited to be on the board 1 on 1 to get the total vision.”
• Educate Them“We have a training retreat in July with speakers who educate board members on how to proceed and how a board works to stay strategic instead of functional.”
“We do leadership training every 3rd board meeting.”
“We have a new board notebook”
“We have a two step, transition board meeting, with both boards, to pass on info to incoming board members and then we have a retreat.”
“During the first 90 days we educate new board members on what resources are available, we have a session for all the things you need to know such as email distribution list, how to do x, y, z, for example, amend bylaws.”
• Have a Strategic Plan and a Succession Plan“Have a 5 year Strategic Plan that immediately connects to
operating plans.”
Motivating
“Be a builder, not a fighter; be inclusive, encourage engagement, give pats on the back.”
“With age comes wisdom, something may be very important, but not the end of the world.”
“Be the example, you set the standard, enthusiasm is contagious, if you aren’t excited, no one else will be.”
“Communicate ideas, new ways of thinking, as well as how to do’s”
“People want to be recognized, appreciated, that, not money, is the delineating factor.”
“Keep pressure off, remember they are volunteers, nip unproductive behavior in the bud, animosities, etc.”
“Let others make their contributions”
