Leading a Successful Nonprofit Board Retreat

I was honored to be asked to facilitate a  retreat for the Upper Saco Valley Land Trust, a 24-year-old nonprofit with a mission to acquire, protect, and manage special places in parts of New Hampshire and Maine. I was inspired by the board and staff who engaged in this day-long meeting in Jackson NH to strengthen their operations and plan for the future.

Afterward, board member Ken Olson wrote, “Everyone I spoke with liked how you handled things. You guided us sensitively but also with a strong direction to get us to consensus on important actions.” This dynamic organization is moving forward to hire a new executive director.
