Nonprofit boards need strong skills and a thorough understanding of their role to serve effectively. In this interactive series, we cover the most important aspects of board governance. Board Masters was created for current and potential board members who want to learn how to better serve nonprofit organizations, regardless of whether they are veteran board members with years of experience or are new to board service. At the end of this training, you will be able to describe how effective boards function, tackle the essential tasks of nonprofit board members, and create a plan of action to address opportunities to improve.
Sessions meet from 12:00 - 1:00 pm each day, March 4 - 8.
