The Importance of Board Welcome Packets

Done correctly, a board welcome packet will help cultivate new board members and retain existing ones. The size or format of the packet can be adapted to the needs of each recipient.

Consider having a "board only" section of your website where the board can access and download the information.

A Board Welcome Packet may contain the following:

• Introduction letter from the current Board President
• A History or Timeline of the organization
• The Board Agreement or what is expected of board members
• Talking points about the organization
• A calendar of events and/or description of programs
• Schedule of board meetings and outline of the time committment
• Fiduciary responsibilities (or Give/Get policy)
• Mission / Vision
• Strategic Plan
• Committee Structure
• Budget
• Bylaws
