Critical components of nonprofit board governance are determining strategic direction and providing oversight. While strategic planning falls squarely within these responsibilities, is often dreaded and misunderstood by nonprofit boards. With the right process it can actually increase board engagement and even be (dare we say) fun. Your strategic plan is the roadmap for programmatic and financial sustainability; don't take shortcuts that can sabotage your efforts. Go beyond a basic work plan or one-day, self-led retreat and learn the most effective processes and practices for strategic planning success.
Whether you are veteran nonprofit board member or are joining a board as your first governance experience, the essential elements of board governance are critical for healthy leadership. Join nonprofit governance expert, Emily Davis, in a discussion about governance best practices including:
Governing roles and responsibilities.
Various “hats” board members wear and when to wear each one.
Clearer roles, expectations, and commitments of board and staff in organizational leadership.
Strategies for effective recruitment and retention of boards.
Enhancing accountability among board leadership for sustainability.
Matching the passion for a mission with governance essentials will serve you as an individual board member and create engagement within the board.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
