As a consultant, if you’ve ever found yourself coaching a frustrated executive director, facilitating a tense board meeting, or trying to clarify who’s really steering the ship—you’re not alone. Board dynamics can be one of the trickiest parts of nonprofit life, and consultants are often right in the middle of it.

This session brings together a panel of governance and leadership experts to unpack what’s really happening behind the scenes of board challenges—and how consultants can navigate them with confidence. We’ll dig into blurred roles, difficult personalities, and the tension points that surface around fundraising and shared leadership. You’ll hear about lessons learned and leave with actionable strategies to help boards and executives strengthen their relationships, clarify responsibilities, and move forward with greater trust and alignment.
