♟️ What’s Your Board’s First AI Move?

Boards are notoriously old and slow.
In the AI era, that’s a risk you can’t afford.

Most boards are doing nothing.
And that’s exactly how they’ll lose.

1️⃣ Form an AI & Innovation Committee
– Oversee AI adoption, digital transformation, and emerging tech risks.
– Report regularly to the full board.
– Ensure AI is treated as a strategic priority.

2️⃣ Greenlight One Small AI Pilot
– Pick one low-risk pilot (think: Board Matrix analysis to identify skills gaps).
– Test tools like Grok, ChatGPT, Gemeni, Claude, etc.
– Test, learn, and improve.

3️⃣ Quarterly AI Updates
– Make AI routine part of board reporting, just like finances and KPIs.
– If there’s no progress, ask why.

In one year, you’ll either be ahead…
Or wondering how you fell behind.

So… what’s your board’s first AI move?

The Fax in the Boardroom.

There’s a story I still can’t believe is true:
A wealthy board member at a prestigious independent school in Delaware once insisted that the agenda and board packet be sent to her by fax.

Not emailed.
Not mailed.
Faxed.

Self-help taught me to believe in myself.
What it didn’t teach me was how to run a business.

I used to say that line all the time—Jim Rohn’s famous mantra. I wore it like a badge.

Who’s in charge of strategy—the board or the CEO? 🤔

The CEO is like the ✈️ pilot, creating the strategic flight plan.

They analyze the environment, chart the course, and craft a plan with a clear vision, goals, and actions to reach the destination. 🌍

The board acts as 🛑 ground control.

They review the plan, ensuring it aligns with the mission and long-term vision. They assess risks, ask tough questions, and provide key feedback. 🔍💡

Once the board is confident the plan is strong, they give the ✅, allowing the CEO to execute.

It’s a strategic partnership—each role is essential for guiding the organization to success. 💼✨

Should nonprofit board members be expected to donate or fundraise? 🤔

📊 About 80% of nonprofits have a 'give or get' policy—board members either donate or help bring in donations. It’s seen as a way to show commitment and lead by example.

But not all nonprofits enforce this... some think time and expertise can be just as valuable.

What’s your take?

Should board members be required to give or fundraise, or should they contribute in other ways? 👇 Share your thoughts!"
