What are the signs that your foundation's board might
benefit from adding a community leader to bring new energy and a
fresh voice to board deliberations and decisions? Some family
foundations have never had an outside trustee on the board and
don’t want one. Others have had non-family trustees since their
inception - either a friend or business associate of the
founder, a trusted lawyer or accountant, or a program expert or
local community leader respected by the family. Join this
webinar featuring representatives of family foundations that
have made the choice to engage non-family trustees – hear more
about why they made this decision, what questions and challenges
they addressed in the process of adding non-family trustees, and
what has – and has not – worked..
