ReviewsMary Hiland does a masterful job guiding the chief executive to help board members identify telltale symptoms and follow them to the problem's root causes. Having taken this journey together, they are then guided along the path toward resolution. Love Your Board! is for any executive director/CEO who wants to help their board achieve its full potential. Ted Hart, ACFRE, CAP(R) - President and CEO, CAF America A well-running board is the one big difference between effective, successful nonprofits and those that wither and die, sometimes in their prime. This book will help your board become the well-honed machine that drives success for your nonprofit. Linda Lysakowski, ACFRE - Author and Consultant Mary Hiland hits it out of the park with Love Your Board! She takes you into real-life board issues with all their messy uniqueness. Joanne Oppelt - Author, Trainer, Consultant, and Growth Coach Reading this wonderfully supportive, practical, and reflective book will give you the tools you need to help your board overcome its deficiencies and unlock its potential to lead your nonprofit organization brilliantly. Christine Duncan - CEO, YWCA Monterey County The most common challenge I hear from both first-time and long-term executive directors is how to engage their board to do, well, MORE! If you've had this same thought, Mary Hiland is the perfect person to guide you through the step-by-step, comprehensive journey you can and should take. Sherry Quam Taylor - CEO of QuamTaylor LLC I'm a former executive director, and reading Love Your Board! changed my perceptions about boards. Mary gives a well-researched and clearly written view of the role of the board in nonprofit organizations. The Capacity/Connection/Culture framework made complex ideas easy to understand. Applying the framework, sharing real-life stories to illustrate it, and giving practical strategies for working through a myriad of board challenges make this book required reading for executive directors. Dee Wischmann, Executive Coach - Former President & CEO, Catholic Charities Silicon Valley I especially appreciated Mary's identification of the three critical factors for successful board development: the use by the executive director of the "nudge" to take the board to the next level, the need for intentionality, and the focus on the indispensable role of the board's chair. I recommend Mary's book for all nonprofit leaders and board members. Dr. Rob Harter - Executive Director, Christian Center of Park City - Founder and Host of "The Nonprofit Leadership Podcast" By breaking board improvement into either capacity, connections, or culture and providing case studies, Mary provides clear, actionable steps for proactively responding to any need an executive director might face in working with their board. This is a book to read once and then go back to regularly as different situations arise. Shawn Gerth - Executive Director, Educare California at Silicon Valley When plenty of books on nonprofit boards seem to be every bit as complex as their subject, Mary Hiland shows her mastery by taking the opposite approach: she uses simple stories and explanations to help us understand the root causes of nonprofit board dysfunctions and what executive directors can do to help their boards overcome them. Shake Sulikyan - President & Executive Director, ValleyCare Charitable Foundation

It sure is. Just ask Mary Hiland. In this remarkable book, Mary brings her wealth of experience and practical insights to a very real problem that's vexed nearly every executive director: how to work with your board. Matt Hugg President and Founder, Nonprofit.Courses I loved this book! It is easy to follow, warm, and congenial. It is evidence-based, and the examples illustrate and move the reader through the processes Mary recommends. The tree metaphor made the book feel like the advice and information given is organic and could become part of the fabric of an organization. I highly recommend it to all executive directors. Maria Nicolacoudis CEO, Hearts & Minds Activity Center, Mary Hiland's decades in the trenches informs every common-sense solution she recommends for your most angst-inducing nonprofit organization board dilemmas.
