At some point in your nonprofit leadership journey, you will encounter a damaging Board member who needs to be removed.  But it’s hard to find a playbook for how to handle this delicate situation correctly.  In this bonus break, I outline three ways to terminate a problem Board member and answer the following questions:

  • How do I fire a Board member?
  • Who is responsible for firing a bad Board member?
  • How do I handle an underperforming Board member?
  • What can I do about an abusive Board member? 

This bonus break is loosely based on a Successful Nonprofits® blog post; you can read the full post at https://successfulnonprofits.com/how-to-fire-a-difficult-board-member/.
