Kathi Lipp is here with her original partner, Roger Lipp, to kick off this month’s new series about establishing your own board of directors. Have you ever thought maybe your business or ministry isn’t far enough along for a board of directors? Maybe you’re thinking, “I haven’t even published a book yet, how could a board of directors help me? Who would I even ask to be on my board?” Kathi and Roger are here to answer all those questions and more. Listen in as the pair explains the different roles board members fill as well as talk about how putting together your board early in your business or ministry can help you:
- See the bigger picture
- Offer expertise in areas you may not have knowledge about
- Offer fresh voices about the industry
Whatever stage your business or ministry is in, whether or not you have published a book, a board of directors is essential. You won’t want to miss a single episode of this month’s series.
