According
to the Harvard Business Review, effective governance of
nonprofit organizations is "a rare and unnatural
act." This highly participatory workshop will focus
on several rapidly emerging trends in nonprofit governance,
with emphasis on the attributes of peak-performing boards.
Topics include: board self-assessment, committee structure,
recruiting (and retaining) great new board members, and
board meetings that truly make a difference. Leave your
preconceived notions at the door and dare to enter this
challenging, thought provoking, high energy conversation. |
