Board Development

Many nonprofit organizations are launched by the vision and commitment of one person or a small group. But to assure longevity and a significant impact, a scalable infrastructure, including an effective Board of Directors, must be created.

The Board sets the overall course for the organization, monitors and contributes to financial performance, and plays an important role in connecting the organization with its constituencies and funders. Many nonprofits, however, have Boards with limited experience in these roles. Board Development training helps assure that the organizations has the highly functioning Board of Directors it requires.
