Different moments in the life of a social justice organization call on boards to play different roles.  We work with a range of organizations (including associations, affiliate networks, board-run groups, and community organizations) to determine what they most need from their board, and help them build a board that can deliver.

Our services include:

• Developing viable governance structures
• Conducting governance assessments
• Building an active, value-added board   
• Clarifying and strengthening the board-staff relationship

Client Testimony

"MAG helped NYEC to focus on the issues that we needed to address collectively [as a board]. MAG helped us to tease out what the key points were and to identify plans for next steps easily. It felt like we were partners." -Mala Thakur, National Youth Employment Coalition
 
"We had been afraid to ask too much of the board and be concrete in our requests of them and now we aren’t. Now specific responsibilities are assigned to specific people and we have accountability. It’s made a big difference for us." -Member of the National Network of Abortion Funds
    
"In this annual board meeting, MAG was very adept at getting differing opinions out on the table and ensuring that they be considered in non-threatening ways. So the process was not only constructive, but amicable." -Ruth Hennig, The John Merck Fund
