Description

You’ve been asked to serve on a Nonprofit Board of Directors (or to work closely with the Board as a staff member). Congratulations! Now what? This course walks you through the Board’s legal obligations, and why the IRS requires 501(c)(3) public charities to have a Board of Directors.

The roles and responsibilities of each member, including the Board Officers (Chair, Treasurer, and Secretary) and Executive Leadership will be addressed in detail, as well as the leadership balance between Board and Staff, along with the difference between governance and management.

We’ll also cover what makes for an engaging Board meeting, including setting the agenda, Robert’s Rules of Order, and what goes into the meeting minutes. The purpose and roles of Board Committees and Advisory Councils is covered as well.

The Board’s role in fundraising, and why it is a requirement for most nonprofit boards is covered, along with hints to make the giving and getting process easier and pain free.

The final section includes tips for evaluating your Board’s performance, and recruiting and on-boarding new members to keep your Board going and growing.

This course is based on my many years of work as a nonprofit executive, as a board member, and as a consultant to nonprofit Boards of Directors, including delivering training in each of these areas.

Who this course is for:

  • Board members or trustees of 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organizations
  • Nonprofit executives and others who work closely with Boards
  • Those new to the nonprofit sector
  • Founders starting a new nonprofit and Board
  • Board officers (chair, treasurer, secretary) who are new to their position
