Many nonprofit boards play a critical role in strengthening civil society, contributing time, expertise, and judgment to organizations tackling complex and urgent challenges. In today’s dynamic environment—marked by shifting funding landscapes, rising performance expectations, and ambitious goals for social change—many boards meet these demands by consistently delivering on essential governance responsibilities. Doing so well is a meaningful achievement.

Yet some boards go further. These extraordinary boards not only fulfill their core duties but also serve as trusted partners, strategic accelerators, and influential connectors—helping their organizations build resilience, navigate complexity, and drive long-term impact.

This webinar explores what distinguishes functional boards from extraordinary ones.

Rather than idealized governance models, the session focuses on practical shifts that leaders and boards can make to:

• Build constructive partnerships
• Engage together in generative strategic thinking
• Leverage board influence to expand access, credibility, and resources

Participants will leave with concrete insights to help move boards from functional to extraordinary.
