Part III – Conflict and Termination
One of the greatest challenges a nonprofit board of directors can face is managing conflict with and potentially terminating an executive director. While no board wants to find itself in this situation, it’s crucial to be prepared. In this episode of the PBPA podcast, Alex Drummond with Seyfarth Shaw and Lori Shapiro with Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta discuss how boards can navigate conflicts with their executive director and what steps to take if termination becomes necessary. We’ll cover key tips and legal considerations to ensure fairness to the executive director, maintain oversight of the nonprofit, and prepare the board members themselves.
