The Thalia Group
Our Toolkit: Governance Consulting
Is your Board struggling with an issue they just can’t seem to get past? Are you challenged by the dynamics of the group itself? Are folks unclear about the best structure for your Board; the one that will most successfully move the organization’s governance efforts forward? Is the Board stuck in more of a managing role - reverting to that more comfortable “default” position rather than governing? Do you have what we call a “good Board gone bad” situation on your hands?
The Thalia Group can help address these and other challenges that nonprofit Boards often find themselves facing. Good Boards don’t just happen! Like any relationship, they need effective communication, clear roles and responsibilities, and frequent nurturing. Boards often find themselves with a Chair who accepted the role with some degree of hesitancy, or with a Chair who is tackling that role for the very first time in their career. Who provides the training and support for the new Board Chair? Often, this responsibility falls to the CEO or Executive Director…and is that the best solution?
We have a team of consultants with many years of successful Board experience -as CEOs working with Boards, as Board members and Board Chairs. We can work with your Board Chair alone, with the Board Chair and CEO as a team - the most important team! We can also work with the entire Board or the Executive Committee.
“Working with Teri made a big difference in the effectiveness and efficiency of our Council Meadows Board of Directors. We were plagued with redundancy and singular leadership controlling our actions and complaining about board members who did not contribute.” Mary Anderson, Board Secretary
