Board Governance Training
Leadership Columbus provides board governance training to ensure community volunteers are equipped to handle the challenges and rewards of nonprofit leadership. The standard, half-day training workshop covers a board member’s basic duties and responsibilities, board governing documents, leadership expectations, fiduciary responsibilities, and board/staff relationships.
The session also includes a panel of high profile board presidents and nonprofit executives which allows for plenty of “question and answer” time. Participants will receive helpful written materials - along with useful networking opportunities.
Attendees will learn:
- Roles and responsibilities of board members
- Fiduciary duties of governing board members
- Types of nonprofit organizations
- How to serve as an ambassador for your employer & nonprofit
- How to choose the right nonprofit board for you
- How to maximize your board opportunity
