1 Milestone Three: Governance Issues Kylie Ferland Southern New Hampshire University OL 445-H3935 Dr. Tomecca Williams January 29, 2024
2 The governance of Emerald City Community Economic Development (ECCED) is important for the organization going forward. The Board of Directors govern the organization through oversight, large-scale planning, as well as the overall direction of the nonprofit (Kindful, n.d.). ECCED has a strong governance structure already in place. There is always to improve any structure already in place. This will allow the organization to grow. The Board of Directors is very diverse through all the experiences that they bring to the Board. They come from a variety of backgrounds that will bring experience and knowledge that otherwise would not be available to the organization. It is recommended that ECCED implements committees within the board in the following areas: finance, governance, fundraising, development, and a committee for every program the organization is running. The committees should be assigned based on Board member interests. They should rank their choice of committee and he assigned by the President so that all committees are fully and diversly organized. The full Board of Directors will assign tasks and goals to the committees whose job will be to implement and handle. They will make recommendation to the full board for adoption of policies, activities, and tasks. Committees would allow the Board of Directors to tap into individual talents and expertise of each board member to help the full board make the best decisions. It will also allow the Board to divide the work up into something that is more manageable (The Diligent Team, 2019). The Board of Directors can form any new committee as it sees fit. The initial committees will allow for a vast improvement in the future of ECCED. The committees can generate ideas for special events, sponsors of programs or events, secure donations for various events and programs, and help to sell tickets to various events. By utilizing the strengths of the board members, many of whom are already passionate about the organization and the work that it is doing, ECCED can advance their agenda and ideas. They will also better utilize the board’s time and resources.
