A Better Board Will Make You Better
Members of a nonprofit board must engage directly and deeply in the work of their organization. Otherwise, board meetings will degenerate into rubber-stamp exercises that deprive nonprofit leaders of much-needed strategic guidance; board members, for their part, will feel that their time has not been well spent. An equally important matter is board composition. Diversity creates rich and ultimately very helpful discussions and balances decision making. This lively session will delve into Board Development and creative ways to improve your board recruitment and engagement.
