 # Imaginary Boards: The Secret to a Better World

 


 

 Jan 6, 2012 8:33 AM ET

  

[Alice Korngold's Blog](http://huff.to/xdMtZz)

Imagine the members of a nonprofit board being so committed to the mission that they put the board meetings in their calendars in advance and attend all meetings in person; make financial contributions and ask their company and friends to support the organization; always act to advance the mission; and disclose any potential conflicts of interests.

Imagine the board having a highly effective[ board chair](http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/alice-korngold/leading-companies-good/how-build-better-nonprofit-board-itrsquos-about-board-cha) and officers; with people from diverse backgrounds and perspectives having the experience, expertise, networks and relationships needed to advance the nonprofit; a clear set of board member expectations and a system of accountability; a sound board structure so that the board is[ logically organized](http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/alice-korngold/leading-companies-good/how-build-more-effective-nonprofit-sector-transforming-bo) to accomplish its work; agendas focused to help facilitate the board's work; and a leadership succession plan.
