Made for the people who end up holding the board
Almost nobody starts out a governance expert. These are the seats the tools are built around.
The founder who became chair
Started the organization, now governs it, and never got the training for either.
The executive director
Reports to a board and needs meetings that end in decisions, not just discussion.
The board chair
Holds the agenda together and wants every seat to genuinely earn its place.
