Overview

One of the characteristics of an effective and successful nonprofit is good governance. Ideally a board of directors works in partnership with the executive director to advance the organization’s strategic direction and steward resources to support the mission. For executive leaders and board members this webinar will cover the roles and responsibilities of the board of directors, as well as best practices for board governance and stewardship.

Board performance is widely recognized as a critical ingredient in a nonprofit organization’s ability to achieve impact. But what does effective board performance look like? And how can nonprofit boards become more effective? We will look at a proven model for effective Board governance and proper oversight.

The board of directors of a nonprofit corporation is legally and financially responsible for the conduct of the organization. It is not a passive role but rather one that must be active for the good of the organization and for reducing liability of the individual directors. It is not just for-profit corporations that are under ever increasing scrutiny for ethical operations.

Board performance is widely recognized as a critical ingredient in a nonprofit organization’s ability to achieve impact. This webinar explores the key elements of what effective board performance looks like, and how nonprofit boards can become more effective and productive.  

This webinar provides an overview of the legal responsibilities of nonprofit governance, the principles of nonprofit management and leadership, nonprofit organizational structure, nonprofit governing board roles and responsibilities, and a proven model and approach to building an effective NPO board of directors.

Why you should Attend

No other singular variable is more important for the health and vitality of a nonprofit organization than the way it is governed and led by the Board of Directors

Areas Covered in the Session

Does this sound like your NPO board

  • Are your board meeting poorly ran and lasting way longer than they should?
  • Are board members not showing up consistently to board meetings?
  • Is the bulk of the responsibility of the board being carried out by only one or two people?
  • Are your board members detached and uninvolved in raising funds for the organization?
  • Is your nonprofit underperforming and just getting by because of an absence of effective leadership at the top?
  • Do most of the board members lack a complete understanding of their roles and responsibilities because they have never been taught?
  • Is your board operating without a good board manual outlining what is expected of them in this position?

 

If it does, then you owe it to yourself, your nonprofit organization, and to the people you serve to learn the important keys your organization needs to gain in order to help your board become a high-performing team that produces GREAT RESULTS!
