A nonprofit Advisory Board can be a great way to engage key supporters with relevant professional skills, life experiences, and networks. But many Advisory Boards sit idle, with members not knowing their role and organizations not knowing what to do with the Board they created.

The average attention span for humans is a mere eight seconds. Goldfish have longer attention spans, but they lead much simpler lives and aren’t inundated with information the way we are. Goldfish pay more attention than humans (but goldfish can’t make gifts). I feel as if our information overload gets worse every year. And, I don’t need to remind you how much is going on right now.

When low(er) tech is the answer to our scheduling needs. Back in the late aughts I had my first brush with volunteer management, when I volunteered for a second year with a film festival in New York City. In my first year, I just stood at the entrance to a 25-screen megaplex and pointed people to our little corridor of two or three screens. But the second year I returned a bit more ambitious, and volunteered to be the volunteer manager.
