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.

LEVEL: Beginner-Intermediate
