Description
Board Basics:
What Makes a Great Board?
CO-SPONSORED BY: United Way of Warren County, Butler County United Way & Leadership Council for Nonprofits
Do you want to maximize the participation and engagement of your board? If you have a board that is underperforming it will hinder the success of your organization. Helping your board members understand how they can best serve your organization is challenging - but it can be achieved.
This workshop will include a discussion of the ten basic responsibilities of a nonprofit board and why a shared understanding of the board's role is the foundation for a great board. We will explore strategies and techniques that will improve your board's engagement and performance. We will also discuss the differences between the role of the board and the role of the staff.
Please join us for this fun and interactive workshop that will help you create a great board for your organization.
Executive Directors, Chief Executives, Board Officers, Board Members, and Governance Chairs are encouraged to attend.
