Happy July! This week we learn how many board meetings is too many, the fundraising value of carpet, and how to not be the person responsible for providing coffee for the entire board every month.

This week we find out what the heck GDPR is and why we should care, and we get some advice from Mary Beth Hartleb from Prism Global Management Group on how to hire good employees.

This week, we’re tackling the most frequently asked nonprofit questions, like the old familiar one, “how do you auction a horse?” We find out whether or not you need to file a form 990 if you have no assets or revenue, whether it’s kosher for nonprofits to pay bonuses, and how to deal with the worst possible silent auction donation items. Stacey and Andy dispense even more career advice (this is starting to become a theme), and answer the age old question, “if a tree falls in the forest, will the IRS hear it.”
In this episode, we find out how to determine the appropriate size of a board of directors, why “advisory board” makes both Andy and Stacey grumpy, and how to create a cohesive marketing/fundraising team.
