Board Effectiveness John Hearne, LIXI Chairman
NFP Boards often have unique aspects….. • Lack of clearly identified “owner” of the organisation. • Goals are qualitative, not financially driven. • Directors are, typically, unpaid volunteers. • Are not constructed around skills and experience, rather around other qualifying factors.
Challenges associated with NFP Boards.. • Not traditionally thought of as operating to the same standards of commercial sector. • Stereotype of inefficient meetings. • A hobby - one fits it in between family and employer commitments. • Often operating in survival mode • Rewards not linked to performance • Absence of agreed accountability and reporting standards
Typical failings of NFP Boards • Volunteer nature brings passion and commitment, but also a desire to be involved in management responsibilities. • Commitment ebbs and flows, creating underperforming well meaning volunteers. • Important skills and experience can be inadequate for the decisions confronting the Board. • Long Board tenures denies the benefit of fresh perspectives • The chair often is the person with most time on their hands, or the most passionate for the cause.
Open Discussion • Should the Board be representative or have a minimum composition of skills and experience defined? • Should Board members have a fixed term or limit to tenure? • Should the selection of chair have a clear criteria? • How do members measure an effective Board?
