Nonprofit Governance: What’s your flavor?

February 3, 2026 No Comments

Fun Fact: I used to live in Korea, and while I was there, I learned about the many flavors ice cream can be in foreign countries. Such as Durian. Red bean. Kimchi. Lychee. Such variety!

So have you ever seen a board member go from board straight to executive director of the same charity, without any previous nonprofit experience?

In 2001, a friend of mine came out to me. He had never told anyone he was gay. He was 20. He didn’t know where any resources were, despite living near Provincetown and Boston his whole life.
