Changing Board Culture

Culture is like the foundation of a house. Just as a strong foundation keeps a house stable through storms and changing weather, a healthy board culture supports a nonprofit through challenges and growth. If the foundation is weak or neglected, cracks will eventually show, leading to miscommunication, disengagement, and even conflict . In this episode, Nancy and Sarah talk about why board culture matters and how to intentionally shape it. They explore four key areas—change, inclusion, learning, and conflict—and share practical tips on how to spark meaningful conversations. Tune in to learn how cultivating a strong, adaptable board culture can create a more engaged, collaborative, and resilient team.
