Valtas delivers peace of mind for boards navigating transition and strategy. Our experienced advisors help boards govern effectively, plan for the future, and build the leadership alignment needed to sustain mission momentum.

Elevating Board Leadership for Greater
Mission Impact

At Valtas, we believe that a strong, well-functioning board is one of the most powerful levers for nonprofit success. Our Board Advisory services help boards move from good intentions to great performance—building the clarity, cohesion, and capability needed to lead with confidence in a changing environment.

Whether your board is navigating a leadership transition, refining governance practices, or simply looking to deepen engagement, our team of experienced nonprofit executives and board leaders will guide you every step of the way.

Our Approach

We partner closely with boards to:

  • Assess current governance practices and identify areas for growth.
  • Clarify roles and responsibilities between board and staff.
  • Strengthen strategic alignment with the organization’s mission and vision.
  • Improve board recruitment, onboarding, and retention.
  • Foster a culture of accountability, engagement, and inclusivity.

We draw upon the insights of our 30+ seasoned nonprofit leaders—many of whom have served as both executives and board members—to tailor our support to your unique context. Our goal: equip your board to provide steady, strategic leadership that fuels long-term mission success.
