Doomed for the Drawer: Alex Montgomery on What Makes a Nonprofit Durable

Send us Fan Mail Why do some nonprofit strategic plans become how an organization actually works, while others get approved, praised, and quietly put in a drawer? Alex Montgomery has spent more than 25 years inside the nonprofit world in nearly every seat there is: lawyer, Skadden Fellow, fundraiser, operator, executive. Today she consults with nonprofits on strategy, leadership transitions, and board governance as Managing Director at Team VKA. In this conversation we get into what boards get wrong at every stage of a nonprofit's life cycle, why the best strategic plan she ever built happened in a coffee shop, the difference between redirecting work and piling it on, whether a plan should survive a leadership change, and the question she wishes every board member would ask at their next meeting.
