Gertha "Gigi" Jean
Gigi works with nonprofit leaders and board members to build organizations that are structured to last. Her Straw, Stick and Brick Board Blueprint has helped nonprofits across the country take an honest look at their governance, fill the right seats, and stop losing the people who matter most to the mission.
Every nonprofit board fits into one of three categories
Most leaders do not realize which one they are in until the wolf is already at the door.
The Straw Board
Built on relationships and good intentions. No real structure. One crisis away from falling apart.
The Stick Board
Some structure in place but gaps in governance leave the organization exposed when things get hard.
The Brick Board
Solid governance, clear roles, strong culture. Built to handle pressure and keep the mission moving.
