Hello!
My name is Sue Dalelio
I believe that boards are probably the most underleveraged strategic resource in our sector. The state of a governing board dramatically impacts every aspect of an organization’s strategy and operational capacity. When boards are fully leveraged with board members focused, and ACTING, on what matters most to an organization’s success, it is transformative - for the organization, and for every constituent including board members themselves. Too many leaders struggle with this for so many understandable reasons. (I know I did!) And I know they don’t have to.
Leveraging my hard-won lessons and best practices over 25+ years of experience as a nonprofit executive in addition to serving as a board chair, I am excited to help great, good people address their pain points and opportunities in this critical area. For those who have been benefiting from
a strong board-executive partnership, I can help you
evolve to keep pace with organizational strategic
evolution and development.
