Building and Maintaining Your Board’s Momentum

Once a nonprofit board is functional, how can it move toward longer-term stability? What practices can boards utilize for good governance in the present, while simultaneously planning for the future needs of the organization?  And how do you achieve these goals while motivating board members and making their service rewarding?

Join us for an in-person session on board development that will explore how to take a nonprofit board to the “next level.” Be prepared to participate with other nonprofit leaders to consider how your board can solidify its achievements, build on its strengths, and work toward a future in which your organization can best serve its mission.
