Nonprofit Board Support: Strengthening Leadership for Crisis Response and Recovery

But to effectively lead through times of crisis, strong board leadership is essential. At Jericho Road Pasadena, we assist nonprofits in strengthening their boards to lead confidently through fire relief efforts and other critical situations.
