Synopsis

Is your nonprofit board bored to death — or boring your mission to death?

You said yes to making a difference. Instead, you're stuck in rubber-stamp meetings where the loudest voices and biggest donors dominate, talented members quietly disengage, and the real work of the mission stalls. You know in your gut that your board could be so much more.

It can be.

In Board to Death, nonprofit strategist Deborah MacFarlan Enright shows you how to transform a well-meaning but ineffective nonprofit board of directors into a strategic catalyst for change. Drawing on decades of advising, serving on, and chairing boards — and featuring a foreword by Nickelodeon and Oxygen Media co-founder Geraldine Laybourne — this is the nonprofit board member book that replaces dread with purpose.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

  • Recruit for expertise and experience, not just "pulse and purse"
  • Match your board to your organization's stage — startup, growth, or legacy
  • Run meetings that energize rather than exhaust
  • Set clear roles and boundaries between board and staff
  • Navigate boardroom dynamics, succession, and culture with confidence

More than a non profit organization book about governance theory, this is a hands-on playbook that treats your nonprofit like the mission-driven business it is.

Whether you're a new nonprofit board member, a seasoned chair, or an executive director seeking stronger nonprofit board leadership, you'll close the last page knowing exactly how to make every priceless board seat count.

Your board can be the engine of your mission. Start the transformation today.
