form your first board, a seasoned institution that wants to deepen engagement of board members, or are
thinking of developing an advisory board, Olive Grove will work with you to design the most effective
governance strategies to support:
- Board engagement – Ever been at a board meeting where attendance and energy are low? Or
maybe your board members just aren’t sure what to do to support the organization? Olive Grove
brings leadership teams together to help re-align goals and vision, clarify board member roles and
responsibilities, and create strategies to expand and involve your board. - Mission delivery¬ – How is your board of directors working to ensure effective delivery of mission and
programs? Are board priorities, committees, and agendas aligned with your strategic plan? Are you
setting measurable goals and assessing progress? We work with organizations to establish a
strategy and plans for creating a vision and developing evaluation tools to keep you on track. - Accountability and transparency – Is your board of directors educated and informed about the legal,
fiscal and operational responsibilities that come with being part of the leadership team? Olive Grove
supports board members to make sure they are in compliance with nonprofit regulations and
implements board training so that board members can provide the proper guidance and leadership for
the future. - Effective stewardship – Does your organization have established systems and structures to ensure
that the board and staff interact and inform each other effectively? Is your board aware of the
organization’s affairs and able to exercise authority to make change if needed? Olive Grove
understands how to lead your leaders to improved effectiveness and expanded awareness of the
organization’s operations. We instill the confidence and knowledge needed for your board members
to steward the organization toward greatness.
