  • Ways to engage with your audience in less than 15 minutes a day.
"Jay's session was awesome. I spent the next hour checking off a few of Jay's suggestions with our own website, Facebook page and email service. We have some work to do! I hope the rest of the attendees 
had as many take-aways as I did."

Board Room

Is your organization facing challenges recruiting new board members?  Are you worried about attracting future board leaders?  Nonprofits throughout the state struggle with connecting and explaining to the community what it means to be a board member and why someone should volunteer to do so.  Often nonprofits are undermining their own efforts in attracting people to board service.  This session will explore the personal, professional and community value of being a board member, and how your organization can leverage and market these areas to bring success to your nonprofit board.  Please encourage your board members to register and attend this session.

This webinar will help your board and staff operationalize your new committee structure post Nonprofit Revitalization Act. Gone are standing and ad-hoc committees; enter committees of the board and committees of the corporation. Are the latter accountable to the Board or accountable to the Executive Director? Do you need minutes? Who should chair them? How do we bring on non-board members and what is their role? For committees of the Board, what authority do they really have and how to we ensure they are accountable to the board. Join this discussion and bring your questions and suggestions.
