Governance and Leadership

Get the right people in the right roles.
A strong team makes progress. Maxwell Planning helps you identify the key players of your organization to get you moving in the right direction.

Nonprofit boards oftentimes do not understand their roles as a group or as individuals. Sometimes they understand their roles, but do not have the skills to fulfill these roles. Maxwell Planning designs and facilitates planning retreats and training sessions to build the capacity of nonprofit boards to act effectively on behalf of both the community and the organizations they serve.  Marnie Maxwell is a BoardSource Certified Governance Consultant.
