High-Potential Advisor Roles

The highest potential for a group of advisors / ambassadors / advocates is to provide engaged support for your work in the community.

The logical first step in building your team is therefore to know what kinds of support you need. Here are just some of the tasks your organization may need community support to accomplish: We can help in any of these roles.

• Engagement & communication / ambassadors for the mission
• Advocacy for public policy
• Speaking gigs (both getting engagements & doing the actual speaking)
• Raising money
• Advising on programs / helping with organizational planning
• Having high profile names associated with the organization for credibility
• Providing pro bono work to assist with other staff-driven needs

Meetings –

The assumption that an advisory group needs to have regular meetings is just that – an assumption. If what you need is individuals who will get work done, sometimes that requires convening together, and sometimes it does not. You need concentrated results and action oriented advisors who can keep meetings to a minimum.

Set Your Expectations-
