In this episode of The Art of Good, I sit down with Rob Valencia, an attorney and nonprofit consultant with over 30 years of experience, to uncover the often-overlooked importance of governance in the nonprofit world. We talk about how solid governance is the backbone that keeps organizations thriving, even when they’re laser-focused on their mission. Rob shares his personal journey, from pro bono legal work to serving on nonprofit boards, and why educating board members is critical to avoiding costly mistakes. Whether you’re leading a nonprofit, sitting on a board, or just passionate about the sector, you’ll walk away with actionable insights on how to strengthen your organization and make a bigger impact.
