Hi John,

How’re you doing? It is a huge time of disruption and stress, so we hope you are taking good care of yourself.

Kathryn and I have been very busy this week working with our clients, helping them develop strategies to weather this uncertain time.

We’ve gotten many questions from board members about how to lead in this time of crisis. So today, we’re sharing our tips and best practices for board members to guide with a sense of innovation, resiliency, and compassion.

We’re discussing:

• Leadership strategies and attitudes in times of crisis
• Addressing a Continuity Plan for your organization
• Creative revenue strategies for right now
• Can your organization raise money now or not?
• What staff needs from board and executive leaders in times of crisis
  

Nonprofit Board Members: Leadership Tips for Uncertain Times

Send this to your board members. They are probably making many critical decisions right now that will impact your organization’s future.

We discussed all these topics in a lively Facebook Live broadcast this week. You can watch the broadcast here.

Remember, keeping yourself healthy and calm is your top priority. Only then can you care for others and carry out your organization’s work.

Deep breath, and thank you for your good work in the world.

PS: Stimulus Bill
