Here are 3 tips for engaging board members: 1. Provide opportunities for board members to invite friends to casual, non-fundraising events to gauge continued interest and get them more involved. Follow up with board members in a timely manner. 2. Get short testimonials from board members about why they support the organization and train or coach board members to help them feel more comfortable fundraising. 3. Thank board members for their contributions and recognize their efforts at meetings. Maintain contact with former board members through invitations and calls to keep them engaged.
