Lots of food for thought. In particular the issue of “running a nonprofit like a business” or in other words letting the fund raising arm become the tail that wags the dog, rings true.
It is natural for board members who are in business to look at monetary problems as the leading edge for an organization. If you get a voting block of such like minded individuals on a board they can indeed run away with the organization. Kelly has posted here about that issue.
Thank you for posting this. I plan to recommend viewing it to some friends.
Impressive!
