About this event
Boards and their members are being asked lead in new ways during these tumultuous times. Addressing challenges that test the board, the board/executive director relationship, and the board members’ engagement, executive directors need to work differently because the quality of board engagement during a crisis affects how the board will perform in the future. Though recruitment is always critical, organizations must consider how to leverage the strengths of the current board members while identifying future leaders that will help meet the organization’s needs.
Executive directors and board members will come away with specific tactics to implement immediately and strategies for longer-term success.
Seminar topics will include:
- Understanding board responsibilities
- Creating meaningful engagement for board members
- Positioning your board for the future
- Creating a diverse and inclusive board
- Engaging board members effectively in fundraising
Who Should Attend: Board members or trustees of 501(c)(3) nonprofits, nonprofit executives, and others who work closely with boards and board officers such as chair, treasurer, or secretary.
Registration Fee:
- Early Bird : $75 (ends on 4/26)
