“Having served as a Board Member of several local non-profits and on the board of a national organization, I have attended many Board Training exercises. The Board of Directors Development Training presented by Mark Niles and his team was the most useful and the most practical. It clearly articulated the responsibilities of board membership, provided clear definitions and descriptions of Committee tasks, and presented unambiguous guidelines that led to more effective Board operations, oversight and governance. The Niles Partners’ training told us what we were charged with doing and how to do it better.”



“I joined the Board shortly after The Niles Partners provided specialized Strategic Planning Training for the Women’s Center. The following year, my responsibilities as president-elect included spearheading implementation of the Strategic Plan. The plan itself provided time-driven benchmarks for the Board, its committees, and staff, while clearly establishing goals for every stakeholder. As president of the Board, I saw incredible results. The staff buy-in, the can-do attitude of the
Board, and the increased visibility of the agency in the community was significant. The Niles Partners challenged everyone associated with the organization to reach for previously undefined and unattained goals, and gave us explicit instructions on how to do so.”



“I have been involved with a non-profit for many years; I was elected President of the Board. Early on in my presidency, the Board contracted with The Niles Partners to provide Board of Director Development Training. During my 2-year term as President and 1-year term as Immediate Past President, I was amazed how the organization turned around. The Board became a true Board and the entire organization flourished. I attribute the success of the organization in large part to the Board of Director Development Training provided by The Niles Partners.”
