This event is offered in partnership with the Initiative Foundation.

Strong nonprofit organizations are supported by engaged and effective boards. Organizational leadership & board members play critical roles in ensuring boards provide strategic leadership, ensure financial stewardship, strengthen community relationships, and support the organization’s mission.

This training is designed to help organizational leadership & board members better understand their leadership roles and provide practical tools that strengthen board engagement, governance, and organizational impact.

The session will be interactive and discussion-based, allowing organizational leadership & board members to reflect on their responsibilities, share perspectives, and identify specific actions that will strengthen the effectiveness of their board moving forward.

The training will focus on helping nonprofit leadership & board members:

• Understand the core roles and responsibilities of nonprofit board leadership
• Clarify the difference between governance and management
• Strengthen board engagement and accountability
• Understand the board’s role in fundraising and community advocacy
• Improve the board’s ability to think strategically about the future of the organization
• Identify practical steps to strengthen board effectiveness

This session is supported in part through funding from ServeMinnesota and AmeriCorps.
