Description

BOARDS WITH BRAINS is SVP’s board governance education series (learn more, below). Join us for our 2015 trainings, like this one: Organizations differ in size, structure, and complexity, but the elements of good governance apply to all nonprofits. At this session, board and staff will learn what governance really is so that board members can successfully fulfill their responsibility to the organization.

About this Session:

Ensuring effective governance is the most important responsibility facing nonprofit board members, yet data consistently show that a sizeable percentage of boards have limited knowledge of their basic roles and responsibilities. This workshop will help you understand what governance really is and seek to answer four important questions: What is the role of the board? What is expected of board members? What are the recommended practices of nonprofit boards? How does an effective board operate? Take home ready-to-use board development tools and templates so you can improve how your board governs right away. Session objectives include:

  • Understand the foundation of good governance and related best practices

  • Clarify board roles, responsibilities, and expectations of individual board members

  • Learn the attributes of a high performing board

About the BOARDS WITH BRAINS series:

SVP Boulder County is invested in strengthening our shared community's social sector. We want to help make our nonprofits and the people who run them wildly successful, and, we believe strong leaders – both staff and board – help create capable organizations.

With that in mind, we've designed our BOARDS WITH BRAINS professional development series. We've got recurring sessions covering governance fundamentals (a nice refresher, or first-timer introduction), as well as sessions digging into leadership topics (deep-dives into specific areas of governance best practice).

And, to make it easy for as many Boulder County leaders to sign up, sessions are priced accessibly. Our per-session fee is a below-market $30, and each session includes a limited number of scholarship slots. Additionally, we offer a transferable, 8-punch passes (resulting in a 20% discount, just $24/session!).

We do hope you’ll join us – sign up now, and, if you need assistance purchasing a series punch pass, or details on scholarships, get in touch by emailing Olga now.
