9 The Do s and Don ts of Board Recruitment Do: Take seriously your responsibility to ensure the future leadership of your organization. Make recruitment a regular, on-going activity of the whole board. Seek the counsel and involvement of your key development staff in all recruitment activities. Ensure that the board conducts a self-evaluation, and reviews and updates the by-laws and board manual annually. Ensure that board policies (e.g., Conflict of Interest) are in place, up-to-date, and that you have insurance for Directors and Officers. Be frank, honest, and positive about the challenges facing the organization. Adhere to the recruitment standards and selection criteria established by the board. Treat each board candidate as if they were a major gift prospect or donor. You ll never go wrong! Develop a personalized cultivation plan for each board candidate. Leave yourself and the candidate a gracious out. Document recruitment activity and make it a permanent part of the candidate s donor or prospect file. Review the service of each board member annually and have a leadership plan in place for each. Remember to renew terms for current board members at the annual meeting. Don t: Hurry up and ask, or wait until a crisis drives recruitment activity. Settle for less than who you really need and want. Misrepresent or sweep organizational challenges under the rug: they may be just the things to hook a board candidate. Ask the candidate prematurely. Ask in such a way that the candidate assumes they are immediately a new board member. Think recruitment is a staff activity or responsibility. Recruit outside the board for officer positions!
