  When new officers and board members start their terms, you can maintain their energy and enthusiasm with good training and astute management.At the same time, you can learn a lot about how you'll work effectively with them by paying attention to feedback from planning and from the training sessions.Your Synagogue talked about it with Jim Donovan, a consultant to nonprofit organizations to get his insights into improving your prospects for success.
  
  Your Synagogue: Training is "gut check" time for any leader, isn't it?This is when very intelligent, savvy people challenge you to know more than they do?What are some good techniques for executive directors to stay on top of their game for training synagogue board members?
  
  Jim Donovan: There's always a better way.Seminars and workshops are ways to keep oneself sharp professionally.Presumably, the trainer has extensive real life and academic experiences he or she can pass on to professionals of any level.
  ...
  Jim Donovan: People who volunteer for boards have a motive.Those appointed may not.
  ...
  Jim Donovan: Feedback by the board to the ED is too often overlooked.
  ...
  Jim Donovan: The executive committee usually has a structured process for ED review/feedback.
  ...
  Jim Donovan: Visioning is tricky.
  ...
  Jim Donovan: If you're getting too much fuzzy feedback, you probably have a bad board that can't communicate well.
  ...
  Jim Donovan: A lot of this speaks to the synagogue's by-laws and other laws regarding nonprofit status.
  ...
  Jim Donovan: An ED should have a standing meeting with the president at least once a month - if not more often - just to touch base and talk about issues - and that's in addition to all the phone calls that may be required to carry out your synagogue's regular business.
  ...
  Jim Donovan: Be careful here.
