Every nonprofit has a Board of Directors. Yet most people don’t understand exactly what the Board’s job is. And this is a problem. You see, it means that hundreds of people are sitting on nonprofit Boards and have NO IDEA what they said “yes” to. It’s surprising. And concerning. Unfortunately, there’s no “Board School” to send people to when they join a Board, so new members just do the best they can, following the lead of seasoned Board members.

from our friend Maureen Wallbeoff Lisa pinged me the other day—she’s the development director for a social justice organization. She asked for some advice around her (bumpy) request for proposals (RFP) process at her nonprofit. Her board had approved the budget for a new CRM and asked her to follow this process to find the right software. When I asked her to describe the problem, here’s what she said: I’ve never done this before, and I feel like I’m making it up as I go along.

It can be difficult to know how to support employees who are grieving or experiencing grief as the result of a loved one dying. Done insensitively and without forethought and training, managers and colleagues can come across as uncaring and even complicit in a conspiracy of silence that deprives people of the support that work can offer in times of mourning.
