Board members devote endless hours, resources and energy to represent, promote and help their non-profits. Your organization would not exist without them. It is crucial to show gratitude for the efforts of others. Not only does it create an environment of appreciation as well as increase their engagement and willingness to keep working for your cause.
Making the effort to write a personal card demonstrates that you really care about the needs of your board member and preferences. You can also make it more personal than a standard greeting card, as you can include details about the board member’s work and send them a personal note.
A thoughtful gift can be the perfect way to show your gratitude. A travel coffee mug or a reusable cooler can be an excellent and unique gift for a school board member who will remind them of their important contribution to the local community.
Another option is to organize a special event for your volunteer board members. It could be a web-based or in-person event that allows the board to celebrate its achievements together. You could also highlight the achievements of your board members in a news article or social media shoutout. This is an excellent way to create awareness.
