🔍 One Problem - Navigating Ethical Waters

Calling all nonprofit trailblazers! If your organization is navigating the delicate situation of a board member venturing off to another organization in the same field, you're in for a bit of a raccoon-worthy challenge.

Just like how I need the right crew for a successful moonlit escapade, nonprofits need board members who uphold the highest ethical standards. So, let's dive into this situation and make sure your organization's reputation stays as shiny as a raccoon's mask:

1. Ethical Transition 🌠: Make sure your organization's policies and bylaws are as sturdy as a raccoon's paws. They should cover conflicts of interest and transitions like this, so you're prepared when these situations arise.
2. Open Communication 🧩: Start by having a heart-to-heart with the board member. Share your concerns and talk about potential conflicts of interest. Trust me, honesty is key.
3. Resignation Offer 🤝: Even though you might not be able to force her to step down, you can politely ask her to consider resigning voluntarily. Stress the importance of maintaining your organization's good name.
4. Temporary Recusal 💰: Think about allowing the board member to take a step back temporarily from discussions or decisions related to donors, fundraising, or matters that directly affect both organizations. It's like a timeout to avoid conflicts.
5. Seek Legal Advice 📜: If things get really tricky, consult with a legal expert. They can help you explore your options within the law and your organization's bylaws.
