Board members put in endless hours, energy and resources to represent, champion and help their non-profits. Your organization would not exist without them. This is why it’s crucial to show your appreciation to them for their efforts. Not only does it help in building an atmosphere of appreciation and appreciation, but it also increases their engagement and willingness to keep working for your cause.
Making the effort to write an individual card shows you truly care about the needs of your board member and desires. It’s also more effective than a generic card from a company that prints bulk because you can address the card to them individually and include specific details about the work they do.
A thoughtful gift is an ideal way to show your gratitude. For instance such as a travel mug, or reusable cooler is a useful and unique gift for school board members that can remind them of their significant contribution to the community.
You can also hold an event that is a celebration of your board members. It could be a live or online event that lets your board be a part of the celebration. You can also highlight the accomplishments of your board in a press release or social media shout-out. This is an excellent way to create awareness.
