Our board was passive and unclear about its role. Mesquite helped us define decision responsibilities and focus our monthly meetings on issues that we were avoiding. The shift was immediate and durable.

We supported Mesquite’s work because the organization was at risk of drifting without even realizing it. The board reset its direction and governance in a way that made future funding decisions far more straightforward.

I was carrying too much responsibility without clear boundaries. Everyone was scattered. Mesquite helped us restructure decision roles between staff and board and identify where my attention was actually needed. That alone changed how the organization operated.
