For many nonprofits, a relevant, thriving board feels like a goal that`s always just out of reach.
But for organizations that do have the right board members focused on the right things, the return is powerful: appropriate oversight and stewardship, thought-partnership, ambassadorship, and for some, fundraising and giving.
Join for an honest and practical discussion of what it takes to get to a thriving board. Our conversation will include:
Promising practices for intentional board recruitment board officers and hierarchy navigating conflict within the board.
Presenters:
Tara Huffman, Chief Program & Strategy Officer BoardSource
Monika Kalra Varma, President & CEO, BoardSource
Ginger Naylor, Chief Executive Officer, Outward Bound
