Does your board have the skills and representation it needs to do its work?
----------------------
For all nonprofits, the Board of Directors plays a critical role in making strategic decisions that help to advance an organization’s mission and positive impact. For board members to fulfill this role, it is crucial that directors and staff are trained in the responsibilities and demands of effective governance.
The All About Boards program is designed to provide you with the foundational elements to help you govern effectively while introducing you to emerging issues in board governance. This training provides actionable resources and guidance so nonprofit organizations can move their governance from good to great.
Learn what every board director should know:
- Characteristics of high-performing boards and how you can enhance the performance of your own board
- Frameworks and best practices for effective governance
- Key financial accountabilities and responsibilities associated with the role of a director
- How to attract, recruit, and retain the best boards
- How to recognize strategic opportunities and risks
Program benefits:
- Increased confidence to carry out your role as a board member
- Increased clarity on the roles of board members versus the roles of staff and operational volunteers
- A more engaged board and stronger alignment with the organizational mission and vision
- Tools to increase the effectiveness of your board meetings
Participants will receive:
- Presentations by subject matter experts, including resources and tools after each session
- An opportunity to build a professional network of board contacts
- A professional development opportunity that can help build your resume
- A certificate of completion (for those that attend all 4 sessions)
LEVEL: Beginner - Intermediate
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
- Board members (experienced or new) of a nonprofit or charity looking to strengthen your board’s effectiveness
- Anyone looking to learn more about board governance and join a board
- Executive Directors or CEOs who would like to build on your boardroom skills and update your awareness of emerging governance issues and trends
- Staff that supports a board
We encourage organizations to enroll both board members and their CEO/Executive Director (or another senior leader) to ensure maximum benefit and impact. Past participants have included a dynamic mix of participants from large, medium, and small nonprofit organizations.
