Many volunteer, non-profit board members struggle to optimize the value of the experience for the volunteer and maximize the value of the volunteers contribution to the non-profit. PeeqMe is a free, mobile app that helps build effective teams by sharing insights into board members' strengths and style. While many boards select for functional diversity (A lawyer, a marketer, a strategist, an accountant, etc.) the break-downs often come at the team level. Sometimes trouble occurs at committee level, and occasionally its 'across the board.' Be fair to your volunteers: Give them the chance to understand their colleague's style and have positive experiences. Let them use their natural strengths to complement their functional, it promotes engagement. Help them delegate and relate better when working virtually on teleconferences/ webconferences. Be happy with your non-profit's improved performance.

4. Select, Develop, Retain
‘Understand what lies underneath’
– Functional diversity has some selection merit, but most board work will
be shaped by natural style and strengths.
‘New board members are shiny but slippery’
– Volunteers are not naturally sticky, so Year 1 engagement is critical to
retention.
‘Motivation matters’
– Helping isn’t enough, WIIFM is critical. Many volunteer for personal and
professional development, especially Millennials.
