Description

Derived from the Eight Key Areas of Nonprofit Excellence and featuring panelists from winners of the Nonprofit Excellence Awards over the past eight years, this workshop is dedicated to informing nonprofit leaders about strategies that work to achieve management excellence. A strong board-management partnership is one of the keys to managing a successful organization. How does your Board of Directors add value to your organization and help it perform better? What is the relationship between the Board Chair and the CEO, the board and the staff? How are board members involved and effectively engaged in policy oversight, leveraging resources and assuring accountability, transparency and effectiveness? How is board performance evaluated and how does the board evaluate the CEO's performance and compensation? This workshop will include an exercise to help you think about your current board practices and the steps you need to take to create a governance structure that moves your organization forward. This session will be of most interest to board members and Executive Directors.

This panel will be moderated by Ann Marie Thigpen, Director of the Center for Nonprofit Leadership at Adelphi University, and will feature as panelists: Gregg Bishop, Board Chair at Red Hook Initiative, and Jess Dannhauser, President & CEO at Graham Windham.

The event will be held at NPCC, 135 West 36th Street, 15th Floor
