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?
