Being a board member is a big responsibility that shouldn’t be taken lightly. The decisions you make as a board member affect the health of the organization you represent. Understanding the board role is vital to your success as a board member. In this “boot camp” session, you will learn:
- The difference between nonprofit and for-profit entities and board service
- Legal considerations as a board member
- Roles and responsibilities that every board member “must do”
- How to be an effective trustee
- Effective executive director/board relationships
- Solving common board problems such as reticence to fundraise, nonfunctioning board structure, and disengagement
This program has been modified from the Management Assistant Program for Nonprofits (MAP for Nonprofits) curriculum and is a merging of the Board Boot Camp and Advanced Board Boot Camp programs—a $70 value that we’re offering for free! Seating is limited. Be sure to register early! |
