How to be an Awesome Nonprofit Board Member
Live

This webinar is for YOU if you are an Executive Director OR you are a board member of a nonprofit organization.

Most board members show up wanting to make a difference. But sometimes something happens to change that. Why? It may be lack of knowledge, a boring or less-than-informative orientation or a board culture that doesn’t invite “new” ideas and questions.

An important aspect of being an awesome board member is happens at board meetings. Effective board meetings showcase the partnership between what the staff has provided in their dashboards or reports and what the board feels is their “job.” On this webinar you’ll be asked provocative questions about how you recruit board members; be provided with templates and tools to deepen engagement and provide clear communication, and learn best practices to support the newest or the most savvy board members.

Webinar take-aways:

  • Learn if your organization is clear what the expectations are for all aspects of being a board member.
  • Reminder about whose job is it to recruit new board members.
  • Learn a powerful, engaging framework for your board orientation process.
  • Find out the key financial information board members should pay the most attention to.
  • Learn five questions every board member should ask.
  • Learn the top five things that make an awesome board.
