Non-Profit Board and Director Training

This training is designated for non-profit board members and executive directors. The Non-Profit Board Member Training will be presented by Cathy Allen, “the Board Doctor”, a well-known consultant in the non-profit arena.

Developing a well-rounded board of directors is Job #1 when it comes to having a strong organization capable of achieving its mission. Burn out is a common phenomenon, with staff often required to accomplish the board’s work as well as their own. Come hear Cathy’s Top Ten strategies for analyzing your needs and recruiting a board with all the skills and characteristics necessary to meet the demands of the future. She helps you design a program of orientation and ongoing communications that will keep board members engaged and active throughout their tenure.

After this session, participants will be able to:

• Identify strategies for overcoming barriers to effective board recruitment
• Analyze their existing board for well-roundedness and identify gaps
• List the elements of a new member orientation program
