CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| During the past four years, including our current fiscal year, Board leadership has honed governance best practices in both written documentation and the regular activity of the Board to best serve the growing needs of the organization. This includes monthly Executive committee meetings, quarterly Finance committee meetings, monthly and/or as needed meetings of Governance, Marketing and Development to ensure the important work of the Board is being done between full meetings. In-depth preparation done by staff and committees for the full Board meetings has fostered an environment where all members are fully prepared for robust discussion and decision-making at meetings. All reporting is done in advance of the meeting to ensure time is well spent. As a result, the Board feels both informed and empowered as ambassadors for the organization in the community. Additionally, our Associate Board formed in March 2016. The Associate Board president sits on our larger Board as a non-voting member. Inspired by their personal connections to cancer, this group of young professionals aims to get the word out about Gilda's, especially among their peers, and fundraise for our mission. As Gilda's Club Middle Tennessee grows in reach beyond Davidson county, we have a real need and opportunity to recruit Board leadership in surrounding counties such as Williamson, Rutherford, Wilson and others. This will ensure the voices of those communities are engaged and heard in future strategic planning for the organization. And Board leadership from these communities will help Gilda's Club forge new relationships to advance our mission. |
