Frequently asked questions
What kind of people should be on our board?
The right mix depends on your mission. Most boards benefit from people with financial, legal, fundraising, and program knowledge, plus members who reflect and are connected to the community you serve. We help you build a skills matrix so you recruit on purpose.
Can you help us prepare for a media interview?
Yes. We help you shape your key messages, anticipate tough questions, and practice so you're confident when the camera or microphone is on.
What should we do when a sensitive issue comes up in our community?
Pause, gather the facts, and speak with one clear voice. We help you decide whether and how to respond, prepare talking points, and communicate with staff, partners, and the public.
