Nonprofit boards of directors vary widely. Most spend time helping their organizations be more effective, but few give the same attention to how the board could do its job better. A truly effective board understands its role and responsibilities in the context of the entire organization, and is willing to monitor its own performance on a regular basis. Though it can be difficult at first, boards that pay attention to how they’re doing find it makes their job easier.
Topics include:
- Responsibilities and expectations of board members
- Using a “job description” as a means of guiding your board
- Structuring relationships between the board, committees, and staff
- Getting committees to do the work of the board
- Assessing your board’s needs and recruiting new members
Cost: $75 per person Special discount for friends of the Community Foundation: $50 per person! Includes training materials, refreshments, parking, and documents and templates that boards of directors may customize for their specific needs (inquire about group discounts)
