What makes a great non-profit board? A great culture. A commitment to governance. No cliques. Curiosity. Commitment. Laughter. Respect for innovation, and ambition, and the people who create and deliver the work. Knowing the difference between governance and management. A spirit of celebration. A mindset of solutionology. A commitment to investing in people. Being willing to take risks, and to fail. Oh, and the right mix of people. It doesn't hurt to have: a Brazilian tech entrepreneur, an African wildlife leader, an Academy Award-winning animation executive, the head of the Design school at Stanford, the Dean of the Bren School at UC Santa Barbara, the former Chief Investment Officer from Blackrock, a former mayor from Mississippi who now leads Bloomberg's Beyond Petrochemicals, a SE Asian ocean advocate, a co-founder of Arabella Advisors, emerging leaders in impact investing, a brand and marketing expert, investment advisors, lawyers, and foundation executives and NGO leaders committed to justice, equity, climate and nature across the global south. I am truly grateful for Rare's board of directors.
