AM Session:
Effective Board Governance and Structure
Charitable nonprofits are increasingly under the spotlight as our sector continues to
grow. With billions and billions of dollars passing thru the sector, our boards need to be
engaged, strategic, and governing effectively. This session examines effective board
structure and board meetings, and will allow you to assess if your board is performing
basic board roles and responsibilities at an acceptable level.
We will examine:
• trends in the nonprofit sector impacting board work
• stages of board development
• the legal responsibilities of the board
• board structure and the use of committee and task forces
• proper board size
• effective meeting organization
• strategic board recruitment, retention, and education
• your bylaws and what you need to change
PM Session:
Getting The Right Board To Do Great Fundraising
This workshop will pick up where the morning workshop ends. We will star t with the
assumption you have assembled a great board or that you now know how to assemble a
great board.
You will participate in a sample board fundraising training. At the end of this training you will
learn how every willing board member can be a great fundraiser. Board members will
understand that fundraising is not about asking for money its really about building
relationships. You will see that board members who are afraid to solicit can be empowered to
be great fundraisers.
You will learn:
• the role of stewardship in board fundraising
• how board members can help with planned giving
• periodic fundraising exercises you can do with your board
• how to get your board to articulate your value to the community
• the board/staff relationship in fundraising
• why board members need to understand the proper role of special events
. . . and much more
