Today, May speaks with Dr. Lyn Corbett, the visionary behind the Pivotal Group. Dr. Corbett boasts almost three decades of work experience in the nonprofit domain, and he brings a wealth of invaluable insights to the forefront. One key to a nonprofit's success lies in the underlying motivation of its board members who serve. We shall delve into board membership and explore the opportune moment for a board to consider engaging a consultant. This episode brims with essential information tailored to empower your nonprofit endeavors.
IN THIS EPISODE:

[06:30] Dr. Corbett talks about his childhood and how that has formed his love for non-profit work
[10:52] Dr. Corbett discusses the importance of a qualified, committed board member
[15:18] Being a committee member before being a board member has value, and he talks about his favorite non-profits
[23:24] Dr. Corbett discusses non-profits who compete and those who work collaboratively
[27:33] What should a non-profit look for in a consultant
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Nonprofits should look for board members who are truly passionate about the organization rather than just friends of members or someone willing to donate their money but not their time.
The pivotal question to ask a person who wants to become a board member is “why?” You may need to ask the question several times until you reach a meaningful reason.
A great recipe for getting to know your community is to join a church, join a gym and mentor a youth.
