The relationship between the executive director and the board chair is critically important to a nonprofit. It is an interdependent link that requires regular communication and collaboration. By working together as co-pilots, the Board Chair and Executive Director/CEO can foster engagement, balance and align responsibilities, and develop a team committed to championing your organization’s mission and goals. Without this partnership, the organization and board operate less effectively, and frustration and disengagement can ensue.
