Project details

What we need
  • 1-2 page summary of takeaways and trends from interviewing key individuals (no more than 8 interviews total)
  • Identification of the board’s strengths and recommendations for areas of improvement for board members collectively and individually
What we have in place
  • We currently have a general overview of our strengths and weaknesses, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have some internal anylysis, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $8,773 , allowing us to hire someone to help us with grant writing.

We are a new non-profit and our board is mostly made of elders and members of our tribal community. The ways of the western world are very different from indigenous practices. It has been difficult governing the board and requesting the participation level I need but also respecting the indigenous ways and habits.
I need help inspiring my board.
I would love review of my current business practices, strategic planning and communication.
