Our small, grassroots organization worked with Clearview in training our Board over the past year. The knowledge that we’ve gained on how to organize and structure our board, our governance documents, and fundraising has been foundational. We strengthened our board and developed concrete plans to ensure the future of our work. We would highly recommend working with Clearview on building Board capacity, knowledge, structure and professionalism.

Most people who join Non-profit boards have a real passion for the charity but no prior experience or training on effective Board Governance. They often pick up bad habits and then pass these to others.   This can lead to a high turnover of board members, time wasted in board meetings and a lack of direction for an organization.  It can also result in strained relationships between the board and the Executive Director/CEO.

Clearview Training and Consulting has been operating for over 15 years and focused on helping charities and their boards to work at their best. Through their assessments and training, they focus on helping retain quality board members, creating an environment for more effective board meetings and greater mission alignment through solid board governance.

What Our Clients Are Saying About Clearview

As a new Executive Director with a Board that had undergone significant churn with over half of its members being newly recruited, I found the need for governance training absolutely essential in reconstituting a well-functioning Board of Directors. The approach that Clearview Training took with us knowing that some Board members had limited training and experience in governance was easy to understand and straight to the point. His inclusive approach ensured everyone had a chance to be heard and participate so that they be able to apply their knowledge in forming the required by-laws and policies. We now have a Board where everyone has the same understanding of their roles in a governance structured organization, which allows us to keep more effectively focussed on our mandate.
