During a crisis, nonprofits need the support of their board to navigate the challenge with intentionality. This includes responding to internal challenges like leadership changes or financial strain, as well as the broader political context and the impact it can have on an organization’s stability, decision-making, and community relationships. Megan Joseph from Impact Launch will present a forward-looking workshop on the skills boards need to be resilient, collaborative, and grounded during a complex political and funding landscape.

Key questions explored:

• How should boards prepare for heightened polarization and political uncertainty?

• What governance practices strengthen community trust and reduce reputational risk?

• What does a “high-functioning board” look like today?
