In its first two gatherings, NYSAE’s Executive Women in Nonprofits SIG*
focused on mentoring and the people who have mentored, sponsored and influenced
us. On September 13, it will explore business relationships and how to carry these
relationships into the boardroom. What makes for functional or dysfunctional
business relationships and how can they affect the work of a nonprofit board? How
do relationships play out in the boardroom and what are the special dynamics
between women and men? What keeps you up on the eve of your board meetings?
To prepare for the discussion, reference Harvard Business Review’s “Dysfunction in
the Boardroom: Understanding the persistent gender gap at the highest levels.”
