Episode Synopsis

When a nonprofit’s founder or small group wields too much influence, mission drift can quietly erode trust, credibility, and board strength. The result? Confusion among donors, disengaged board members, staff turnover, and even reputational risk. The cure lies in proactive governance: clear roles, term limits, strong bylaws, intentional recruitment, and the courage (both from inside the board and, when needed, from outside voices) to keep the mission front and center.
