Nonprofit leaders are navigating one of the most uncertain times we’ve ever seen—funding challenges, shifting policies, and increasing community needs. In times like these, you can’t afford an unengaged board.

In this episode of Next Era Nonprofit, I sit down with Hardy Smith, author of Stop the Nonprofit Blame Game, to discuss why now—more than ever—your board must be fully engaged and actively helping you lead. We cover:

✔️ The biggest reasons boards disengage—and how to fix it

✔️ How to create a culture of accountability and shared leadership

✔️ What nonprofit leaders can do to activate their board during uncertain times

✔️ How to get your board to step up, contribute, and help drive strategy forward

Your board isn’t just there to approve budgets and attend meetings—it should be a powerful asset in leading your nonprofit through change and uncertainty.
