Of all the relationships in a nonprofit organization, one of the most crucial is that of the Executive Director and Board Chair. That relationship has the power to keep the organization on track and running smoothly, or to bring it to a slow pace full of barricades and potholes. And like any relationship, it takes time, effort, and communication to work well.

On today's episode, Tim and Nathan explore this important relationship and offer some practical advice on how to stay on the same team.
