Learning objectives:

  • Learn what boards do - what are their roles, responsibilities, and legal obligations.

  • Learn how board members can best support the organization they serve.

  • Learn best practices in board governance.

Description:

This event is offered in partnership with the Initiative Foundation.

Join this training and conversation tailored for nonprofit staff and board members. Nonprofits are not owned by anyone (like typical businesses), they are overseen by a board of directors who represent the best interests of the community. Come and learn about board roles, responsibilities, and ethical and legal obligations, along with how board members can best support the organization they serve and how roles change over time base on the evolution of the nonprofit.

Sourcewell strives to bring the highest-quality resources, information, and training opportunities to our members. We’re honored to team up with the Initiative Foundation to bring this opportunity to our central Minnesota region.   

About the leader:

Chris Fastner and Amanda Whittemore, partners and consultants with True North Strategies, will lead this session.

With over five decades of professional experience, partners Fastner and Whittemore provide strategy design, training, and coaching, to purpose-driven individuals, entrepreneurs, boards, organizations, and communities to advance their extraordinary goals.
