BoardSource’s consulting services help leaders and organizations build exceptional nonprofit boards.  BoardSource partners with hundreds of organizations – corporate and nonprofit alike – to prepare individuals for nonprofit board service. By focusing on established governance best practices, efficient and effective board structures, and positive and mission-centered board dynamics, BoardSource can help your organization identify opportunities to strengthen its governance as well as address specific challenges that – when overcome – allow your organization to reach its full potential to deliver on its important mission.  BoardSource’s approach to its consultative services is

• outcome-focused. Unlike board-in-a-box models that prescribe one-size-fits-all approaches, BoardSource’s governance consultants work collaboratively with nonprofit boards, companies, and grantmakers to design tailored approaches and solutions that achieve the desired outcomes.
• client-centered. BoardSource’s consultants are experts in effective governance practices and the nonprofit sector. They build customized solutions that address specific needs and do so in a way that is consistent with organizational values and philosophies.
• strength-based. BoardSource’s consulting philosophy is to build on an organization’s existing strengths to help move a board or governance program to a higher level of performance.
• board-focused. Since its founding as a national nonprofit in 1988, BoardSource has been dedicated to supporting and strengthening nonprofit governance and to the unique leadership opportunities and challenges of the nonprofit board.  It is the only national organization with targeted focus on good nonprofit governance and effective boardroom practices.
