  1. Working Together to Increase Success By Kimberly Edwards Sacramento Branch

  2. Board Scope • Oversee club functions; • Model club values and set tone; • Influence new participants; • Be responsible to membership, fellow board members, and Central Board.

  3. Ingredients of Effectiveness • Shared understanding of purpose; • Defined roles reflecting complementary contributions; • Trust and respect; • Periodic review and renewal.

  4. Individual Responsibilities • Know governing documents. • Support shared mission, priorities, initiatives. • Keep mind open to other viewpoints. • Attend meetings prepared to discuss. • Make decisions based on what’s best for the club.

  5. Helpful Practices • Stay positive in all communication. • Maintain good relations within and outside board. • Be a good team member. • Manage conflict. • Avoid hearsay.

  6. Discussion and Decision Making • Discussion is based on club goals. • Dialogue draws on diverse skills and experience of members. • Multiple perspectives fuel synergy. • Consensus = subject fully vetted, all stances aired, pros and cons listed. • Decisions are based on the club’s best interest and reflect broad ownership.

  7. Group Discussions • Board discussions belong to the group. • Authority is vested in board and no individual speaks for the board. • Discretion is an individual responsibility. • If conversations are repeated out of context, intent can get skewed.

  8. Board-Managed Climate • A safe climate helps us do our best. • Everyone contributes to an ambiance of courtesy. • Positive behaviors reinforce trust. • Trust is cultivated and protected. • Predictability helps to build trust. • Differing viewpoints are respected.

  9. Teamwork • Teamwork requires skill and desire. • All members are valued equally. • Comments build on teammates’ statements. • Perspective is the “we” - we issues, we goals, we products.

  10. Individual on the Team • Individual behaviors support group efforts. • Everyone avoids behaviors that jeopardize team spirit (unbending stances, meeting monopolizing, lectures, put-downs, closed body language, texting when others are speaking, etc.).

  11. How to know We’re Effective • We look forward to board meetings. • We contribute to a functioning board. • We stay focused on common club goals even as our individual motivation is nourished (cause, artistic devotion, loyalty, status, etc.). • We’re excited about writing and staying involved to see the club grow.
