What are the fiduciary and strategic responsibilities of a Board Member? To what extent does a board member:

Review the financials?
Understand internal controls?
Question Management on the mechanics of programs?
Question the viability of a program and its alignment with its mission?

The buck stops with your organization’s Board. Board members must understand their responsibilities and mandate. In this workshop, presenter Lisa Toback, Director of Kiwi Partners, draws on her experience attending countless board meetings to highlight the practices of exemplary boards, including how they provide value to leadership at their quarterly meetings and in-between. Participants will also discuss how board complacency can lead to missing the signals that can help prevent a crisis.

Key takeaways:

Board responsibilities according to the Non-profit Revitalization Act.
Balance between having an engaged board and one that micromanages.
Good Governance, Bad Governance – the pink and red flags to look out for.
Approaches for improving your board’s forward looking effectiveness.

This workshop is ideal for Executive Directors, Controllers and Board Members of organizations with revenue under $6 million.

Lisa Toback, CPA, Director of Consulting Services at Kiwi Partners will present this workshop.
