Talking with clients and potential clients, I'd say that these are without question some of the most common comments that come up in our conversations: - No one on our board fund raises. We don't have anyone who wants to. - Our board members don't seem sure what to focus on. I wish they'd do more. - Our board meets a few times a year. That's about the extent of their involvement. - We want everyone on our board to give, but they don't always. It doesn't seem like we should have to have the same conversation every year. Sound familiar? Comment below with your most common board-related frustrations, and I'll pick a couple to focus on in subsequent posts!

Board members don't have the focus that is needed. We are all normal people, and distractions might affect us too! That's why I understand those people who are not even participating well during board meetings. Every time there is a company alignment, I admit that I don't give my full attention because I am also doing something on the side. I guess, it has been a norm for everyone though we all know it's the right thing to do!
