In this episode of The Beacon Podcast, Lighthouse Counsel Senior Consultant Carole Carter heads up a lively conversation with Sandy Howard and Gary Everton about leading productive, engaging board meetings that lead to involvement and philanthropic support.

During their conversation, the trio talks about:

• Maintaining a structured agenda while fostering an engaging environment where board members feel comfortable sharing ideas and taking an active role

• Strategies for motivating board members to not only participate in discussions but also become more personally invested in the organization’s philanthropic initiatives

• Integrating opportunities for fun, team-building or creative thinking into board meetings without compromising the focus on strategic goals and fundraising efforts
