A Whopping 95% of the People Who Attended This Webinar Rated It As Great to Excellent!
Are your board members just “going through the motions” when attending board meetings? Has attendance to meetings by some members dropped off? Are you frustrated with their lack of involvement in meetings or their desire to do the much needed work of finding prospects and spread the word about the good work of your nonprofit to the community?
During this webinar, we will show you how to turn a group of unenthusiastic board members into your organization’s finest ambassadors who are passionate about your mission and who will want to take the organization to the next level.
Board members signed on to be on your board for a reason – we will show you that even the shyest or most disengaged board member can become a “board superhero” with the right training. Often, board members join a nonprofit board without being provided tools for success and nonprofit staff people expect them to be “mind readers” and just “do what they are supposed to do!” Well, it doesn’t really work that way.
Your presenter, Ayda Sanver, MBA, CFRE has served on many boards and has also trained countless board members for greater effectiveness. She brings 25 years of experience as a volunteer, a corporate executive, and then later a nonprofit fundraising consultant and will share her unique methods with you during this webinar.
