Knowing how to serve as an effective board member or work together as an effective governing body or with the organization’s chief executive does not come naturally. We rarely teach people how to serve on boards, and wonder why they or our board don’t live up to expectations.

“There is simply no way we would’ve grown so well and so effectively without the help of Linda and Wastyn Associates. She consistently gives generously of her time, expertise, and resources whenever we need help with grants, understanding fundraising concepts, board development and/or organizational dynamics – and frequently all of these at once!”
Regina Haddock, Founder and Executive Director, Dress for Success Quad Cities
“Linda facilitated the strategic planning process wonderfully. Before the retreat, while our Board was blessedly not DYSfunctional, it was fairly NONfunctional, more or less meeting to “rubber stamp” work that staff had done. Today, our Board is active, engaged, and lively, moving forward with vision and purpose.”
