Recruiting and managing nonprofit board members is an ongoing process. For new nonprofits as well as existing organizations, the process can be challenging. For new board members it can be down right scary, frustrating and/or dissappointing.

Assumptions are made by both the nonprofit and the new board member. This webinar is designed to ensure your nonprofit uses the correct approaches and systems to recruit, on-board and manage one of its most vital and invaluable resources -- the volunteers responsible for navigating it toward successfully achieving its mission!

If you are a nonprofit founder, executive director, board member or interested in serving on a board or starting a nonprofit, this webinar is for you!

• Effective strategies for recruiting the right people the right way

• Effective processes for getting each board member to give and get financial donations
