Don L. Gleason

Don found his passion early in life to Clean America’s Waters, which led him on a journey that included a 36-yrs in both the military and corporate life. These experiences brought many valuable lessons that grew him into who he is today. It provided him with a vision to help others and he created Achieve New Heights, LLC, where he focuses on helping people find the career that energizes them so they can have the life that fulfills them.

Today episode taps into Don’s experience serving on 5 separate non-profit boards such as Board Chair for the San Antonio Red Cross Chapter. In each, he found the organization was not always clear on the qualifications they were looking for, nor clear with members on their role and expectations.

Our conversation will touch on topics such as board members that took the role to advance their career, disengaged members, and especially the vetting process and finding alignment of non-profit and personal missions.

Question to answer

What does your organization need?

What is your board vetting process?

Is the board operational or fundraising?

Takeaways

If the board members are misaligned – not doing what they love. They will lose confidence and energy.

Be clear what role the board performs. To be unclear – is to be unkind.

Be clear with members on the board expectations.

Hold people to their commitment. Inspire them versus force them.

Learn to have meaningful conversations.
