What the Surfside tragedy will teach us about board leadership and liability
Let’s start with the liability.
Around our shop we have a saying, that we repeat often in our workshops, in our clients’ board rooms, and to each other, which is, “being a board member is a different kind of volunteer.”
Case in point, the recent Champlain Towers South collapse in Surfside, Florida.

Highlights from 2018 nonprofit giving research
At ASP, our consultation is based on industry best practices and personal knowledge gleaned from decades of combined experience in the nonprofit world.
However, we recognize that the world of nonprofits and fundraising is always evolving. In order to stay on top emerging opportunities and challenges, we routinely review new research published about the sector.
Last year was an interesting year, and our research highlights below bring the proof. We’ve organized the information under five key themes. In addition to the overviews and sources, we’ve included key takeaways that you can apply to your own program. Happy reading!

Fantastic board members (and how to be one)
By Jen Pendleton, Vice President-Indiana
I’ve worked with a lot of boards in a lot of capacities. I’ve been a staff member, a staff leader, a board member and even a board chair before becoming a nonprofit advisor. After 23 years of working in the nonprofit sector, I know that each role is challenging for different reasons. However, the most consistent question I hear is from board members asking, “What should I really be doing?”
Please join Jen Pendleton and Aly Sterling to learn how to evolve as a leader and board!
