What's Hot: Trends & Leading Practices in Nonprofit Governance

Instructor: Linda Crompton, President/CEO, BoardSource

Course Description
The world has changed and board members need to adapt and change to meet increased demands for mission success and effectiveness.  Drawing on trends and developments in nonprofit governance, this workshop moves beyond the basics of board roles and responsibilities.  Board members will learn about new and/or evolving practices in nonprofit governance and how boards can incorporate current leading practices into their work.

You will learn:
•    Trends in the sector and how they relate to effective governance and board service  
•    The critical board/executive director relationship in times of change
•    Transformative governance and the new reality of the nonprofit sector
•    The role of risk in today’s nonprofit boardrooms and how can board members best manage that risk
