Many non-profits, I know, occasionally rely on votes by their boards solicited by email. Is this a good idea? When ought it be used? Is it even legal? Curious about the practice I thought I would investigate.
Ethics & Accountability
What If We Do Not Have Quorum?
A while ago another consultant on the East Coast of Canada emailed me with a question “What should I advise my client about handling the minutes of a meeting that failed to have a quorum of directors present?”
I assumed that there was not much one could say other than “no quorum, no meeting”. After some research and reflection however, I now believe there is much more that can be said.
Your “About Us” Page
Today, most non-profit organizations, even small ones, have their own websites. They are an essential vehicle for information sharing and storytelling in the community, as well as for fundraising.
Non-profit websites generally include an “about us” page or element. This is an often visited part of your organization’s site, especially by individual donors, institutional funders, and of course, by people interested in the services you provide.
