Dynamic Decisions Podcast
Seats, Skills, and Mission: Building a Board That Fits
EPISODE 46 • SEASON 2 00:24:27
Jessica Olives has spent more than fifteen years inside nonprofit and public sector governance, including the Port of Seattle, King County Housing Authority, and the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority. Now she runs Mission Match, a nationwide platform where nonprofits search for board members by expertise, location, and cause instead of waiting for someone to answer a posting.
- What to do when the perfect skills match doesn't care about your mission: dig deeper first
- Why her first move on a dysfunctional board is the bylaws, not new recruits
- What nonprofits can borrow from public sector boards on record management
- How Strategic Doing's "what can we do now" questions work as a middle ground between a long-range plan and no plan
If your board runs on who you already know, start here.
