I have been fortunate to have members that continue to serve as members. It is a challenge getting new members.

Recognition for a board member's contribution is a professional way to acknowledge their work

Making sure that if you create a inclusive, diverse group of indivudals that can be open to share ideas. There you have a good committe or board. 

I learned the importance of Board recognition. 

I had never heard about Robert's Rule of Order before this module, so learning of this resource has been invaluable. I also believe that the information provided will help our organisation develop a standard for maintaining effective professional development. 

As all humans, board members need to feel appreciated and motivated.
