Description

There’s one on every board: the board member with a battle ax.  Whether they’re leading a rebellion against the executive director or upending every board meeting, these board members can destroy the reputation of your organization, scare your executive director and staff away, and make the board’s job extremely difficult.  In this episode, Susan Schmidt, CEO of Nonprofit Leadership Alliance, will talk about the worst board member archetypes and how to handle their extreme behaviors. We’ll even discuss how an Elmo doll can keep order in a board meeting!

I Was Told There Would Be Snacks: A Nonprofit Podcast, brought to you by Tennessee Nonprofit Network and powered by KUDZUKIAN. On our podcasts, we’ll be spilling the 501(c)tea on nonprofit issues that impact your nonprofit organization, questioning tired ways nonprofits and funders do business, and shedding light on bold new practices in our field. This is not your average nonprofit podcast! And no, we don’t provide snacks, but feel free to BYO. We were going to get some snacks donated, but the donation application was 42 questions and required too many attachments just to get a few dozen bagels and lukewarm coffee.
