What does it actually take for a nonprofit board to stop just protecting the organization from risk, and start helping it find opportunity?
According to governance consultant Gregory Nielsen, it means moving from transactional governance to generative governance, by asking “what future are we preparing for?
That shift touches everything: how boards spend their meeting time, who gets recruited to sit around the table, how much flexibility board service actually allows, and what the board-CEO relationship needs to become.
In this 60-minute session sponsored by Ideals Board, nonprofit governance consultant Gregory Nielsen and Great Kids CEO David Bird will unpack what this shift looks like in practice. They’ll discuss foresight and AI in the boardroom, board composition, and what David needs from his own board since stepping into the CEO role.
