An Engaged and Effective Board with Christal M Cherry

Hi there! If you are a nonprofit leader who is ready to become comfortable talking about money, you are in good company!

 

I am so excited for today’s episode because we get to chat with Christal M. Cherry who is a nationally recognized nonprofit executive and professionally trained fundraiser. She has over 20 years in the nonprofit sector and has supported human services organizations, faith-based missions, and higher education institutions. Christal has collaborated, interfaced, and guided diverse boards made up of college presidents, bishops and ministers, corporate CEOs, politicians, and more. 

 

Highlights from our conversation include:

 

• How Christal serves in her role (1:04)
• Christal’s 23-year nonprofit journey (2:41)
• Stepping out to help other nonprofits  (4:09)
• What you should be prioritizing in your board governance (5:10)
• Tracking and maintaining information in your board and donors (7:46)
• Other ways Christal is changing the world (10:45)

 

I hope today’s episode helped you understand the importance of engaging and interacting with your donors as well as your board members. If you have any questions or want to connect with Christal, you can visit her website and on LinkedIn. You can also learn more about Christal’s children’s book Mac and Cheez: Being Different is Okay on Amazon.
