There’s no reason your board retreat needs to be boring - so incorporating some fun into the day will help board members want to be there - especially if they’re giving up their Saturday (or any part of their week, for that matter) to be with you. This might sound strange, if you are accustomed to boring board meetings, but fun is important, because it helps relieve any tension that could be in room and prepares people to work together throughout the day and over the course of the coming year.Īnd of course, people like to have fun. I believe that fun and team building are essential ingredients of a good board retreat. Use Board Member Bingo to have fun and start discussions at #nonprofit board retreats.
