AFP Big Bend is thrilled to welcome master trainer, Chad Barger, ACFRE, ACNP, to our chapter for a session filled with board training exercises that you can use to boost board engagement at your organization. The included exercises are designed to better define board responsibilities, help them talk about the organization in the community, identify fundraising tasks that they are comfortable with, clarify the board-executive director relationship and help them to facilitate more effective committee meetings. Session participants will receive worksheets and samples to aid in implementing the exercises.
