Hi John,

We hope you enjoyed the last week of August!

This week we want to talk directly to nonprofit board members. But if you’re not a board member, not to worry! These insights to decision-making affect everyone at your nonprofit.

Yes, this has been a difficult year for everyone. Board members and nonprofit leaders are faced with making momentous decisions that can dramatically impact your organization’s future.

Today, we are offering some guidance - and a warning - about decision-making in times of crisis.

By making wise decisions now, many boards and leaders can set their institutions up for a successful post-pandemic future.

So, what are these decisions?

In short - Step up to the plate. Be bold. Commit. And keep the endgame in mind.

Kathryn and I also discussed boards on Facebook LIVE this week. You can find that video here. Join us each Wednesday at noon ET for more lively and strategic discussions to help you succeed.

We are wishing you all the best as we head into fall! It is a precarious time in our society, but our strength and commitment will help us prevail. Thank you again for all that you do.

Have a wonderful weekend, and stay safe.
