Successful Board Retreats
Until all of us have made it, none of us have made it.
Rosemary Brown
"Board retreats are an excellent opportunity to think about the future of your organization, establish new goals and develop desired standards of performance," writes Dennis Miller in "12 Keys to Successful Board Retreats," in The NonProfit Times (March 1, 2012). Here are a few of his keys:
- In conjunction with the CEO, board chair and/or Retreat Steering Committee, develop an agenda with two or three specific goals or outcomes. It is much better to go into depth on a few issues than to spend the entire retreat on too many topics leaving little achieved.
- Consider requiring "homework' to be completed prior to the retreat for those attending, such as reading a specific book or articles to enable a more thoughtful and educational discussion.
- It is crucial to involve every attendee and encourage them to express their ideas and suggestions.
- Select a comfortable place, preferably away from the office or where the daily working of the organization take place.
