All About Boards: Board Fundamentals 

A strong and dedicated board of directors is the backbone of a nonprofit organization. The more effectively a board is run, the more it can contribute to the success of the organization. A highly effective and engaged board has clarity around roles and responsibilities and aligns their work and performance with organizational values and vision.

In this workshop, we will explore the characteristics of high-performing boards and how you can enhance the performance of your own board of directors. Through the use of facilitated discussions, this workshop will cover some of the most critical issues in nonprofit governance.

LEARN ABOUT:

  • Different governance models and their impacts 
  • Board structure including size and committees
  • How to run effective board meetings 
  • Roles and responsibilities of board members
  • Board and Executive Director relationships 
  • Board documentation, including bylaws and policies

LEVEL: Beginner-Intermediate

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Board Members, Executive Directors/CEOs, board support staff, and those interested in becoming volunteer board members who want to have a better understanding of the structures, roles and responsibilities, and best practices of effective nonprofit boards.
