Supercharge Your Nominations Committee [SUBSCRIBERS-ONLY]

The typical nonprofit organization nominations committee is active for only a short period of time with a single objective: to assemble a list of recommendations for nominees to replace open and expiring officer and director positions. We need to break out of this mode and supercharge our nominations committees by having them meet throughout the fiscal year and broaden and reprioritize their service objectives.

Nominations committees that are stuck in a legacy mindset with respect to their role will hinder an organization’s growth and innovation by failing to serve the needs of governing in a changing world. Nominations committees need to refocus efforts by expanding their purposes and reordering their priorities.

Consider these two straight-forward strategies that will enhance output from your nominations committee and strengthen your organization’s future governing bodies.
