Description
BOARDS WITH BRAINS is SVP’s board governance education series (learn more, below). Join us for our 2014 trainings, like this one: Great board retention starts with a strong recruitment process. Learn specific strategies and actions for building and keeping the board you want and need.
About this Session:
One of the challenges in board governance is strong recruitment. How can you find the right board members? How many board members do you really need? What steps do you need to take to find the best board members for your organization? Join SVP and Emily Davis for the July workshop to learn tips, tricks, and tools for recruiting new board members including:
- Learning the process for outstanding recruitment
- Key questions to ask throughout recruitment
- Strategies for retaining great board members
Matching the passion for a mission with governance essentials will serve you, the nonprofit, and create a more engaged board of directors.

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.
