Your primary CBLD consultant will be matched with your organization with care. We are committed to providing high value, and creating and sustaining the highest quality client/consultant relationships.
Fifteen consulting hours are included in the calendar-year program along with preparation, facilitation and follow up for a one day retreat or other in-person event designed in collaboration with board leaders and GM to meet the needs of the board and the organization.
Retreat designs vary widely and might include board, board & top management, or board and key stakeholders. Clients report that the in-person retreat time strengthens their relationship with their CBLD consultant, which we believe deepens and improves the service we are able to provide.
Consulting hours can be used by board leaders, general managers, committee chairs or others designated by the board in the way that best serves the needs of your board. Consulting typically takes place monthly by phone and email.
Startups are eligible to receive an additional 5 “bonus” consulting hours for use in each enrollment year to help with the special challenges of governance development and support for the very new and very small.
Examples of how co-ops have used their consulting hours:
CBLD provides a framework for the annual board retreat. Coupled with the perspective of the CBLD consultant gained from ongoing consulting hours, the retreat becomes a part of an overall plan for development, including skill building, strategic thinking, developing the board’s work plan and team building activities. The CBLD consultant provides assistance and support with planning and facilitation of a one day retreat or other in-person event designed in collaboration with board leaders and GM to meet the needs of the board and the organization.
The program cost includes preparation, facilitation and follow up of a one-day in person retreat or other event tailored to your organization's needs. Your CBLD consultant will work with you to design a day that includes the right people doing the right work to move you forward.
