Nonprofit Board Governance
Is your board prepared for the next seismic event?
Major damage from a seismic event is often not visible on the surface. This is a dangerous situation for any organization. Over time, the cracks start to show and the true impact becomes clear as the organization starts to splinter and the mission suffers.
Our team has been through major business-quakes. We know what to look for and have the tools to ensure your board can provide the leadership strength necessary for the organization.
Unique Solutions for Unique Organizations
- We don't market standardized solutions for our clients, because your situation and the services you provide are anything but standard.
- Our board development experts are certified process consultants who listen carefully to your needs, understand boards inside and out, and work with you to design effective solutions that are as unique as your organization.

We serve nonprofits of all kinds with a myriad of needs for their governing boards.
Creating Alignment
- Your board requires an uncommon level of clarity and organizational alignment, because they recognize their responsibility to exercise authority on behalf of others who are not in the room. A board who understands whom they serve — not the executive director or staff — can project that clarity throughout the entire organization.
Organizational Distress Intervention
- We all need to hear the truth, but it isn't easy. To change your organization’s turbulent trajectory, it takes someone who's walked in your shoes and who is willing to speak truth with compassion.
- Our values are absolute truth, and absolute compassion and service. As an experienced group of leaders who have sat where your board sits today, we know how to communicate in such a way that boards hear us out and take the appropriate measures to remedy a host of potential pitfalls:
- Unresolved Conflict
- Lack of mission/purpose clarity
- Lack of engagement
- Sinking morale
- Decline in giving
- Dissatisfaction with executive director performance
- Lack of strategic clarity
- Reduced output
- or board member retention problems
Church Board Governance
- The OneAccord team are among the world’s foremost experts at helping churches navigate governance challenges:
- The complicated relationship churches must maintain between secular governance and deeply held spiritual beliefs
- Diverse beliefs about governance: congregational, presbytery, episcopal, hierarchical
- Perceptions of church leaders that they must ignore legal requirements in order to have spiritually sound church governance
- Practice that is inconsistent with belief
- Balancing the authority of the board with the spiritual authority that goes with the anointing of the leader
