Board Development

LAPA can help you address Board composition and development. We have four services.  We usually recommend the first service because it is the most practical and affordable.  

1. Board Assessment & Plan
   This facilitated self-assessment examines twelve areas of Board governance as suggested by the National Center for Nonprofit Boards.  The process includes an initial Board discussion, a detailed self-assessment survey that is then compiled into a report of our findings, and a full-day board retreat to review the findings and create a practical six- to twelve-month Board work plan, with assignments and timelines.

2. Board Recruitment
   Recruitment begins with an exercise to identify the Board needs and sources of additional Board members. Under the direction of the current board or advisors, we help establish a board development committee with clear tasks and responsibilities. 

3. Board Roles & Responsibilities NYC Board of Directors
   This special conference day for Board of directors reviews some of the best practices (and legal obligations) that non-profit board members are following in doing business with the City of New York. 

4. CEO Workshop
   This one-day workshop is designed for executive directors and provides techniques for Board management. The workshop explores common challenges that CEOs face and provides recommendations for shared leadership.  We offer extensive consideration to the negotiation of contractual responsibilities and executive compensation.  The workshop includes take home action plans and sample contracts for compensation.
