Facilitated by Laura Otten Ph.D.
It’s an ongoing challenge to build a board of qualified individuals who bring the appropriate skills, temperament, expectations, and passion to the organization while also ensuring that the board is reflective of the constituency you serve. Once you have strong board members, how do you keep them motivated and content? This full- day workshop will provide practical tools to help design a culture of board assessment and development that fuels healthy organizations. Participants will learn how to monitor and build their boards’ profiles in terms of skill, experience, expertise, and demographics; explore strategies to recruit new board candidates; develop effective board member orientation; manage officer and committee chair succession and board performance appraisals; and run productive meetings.
This workshop series is limited to about 30 participants and will fill up quickly. Registration does not guarantee participation in the series; your team will receive a final confirmation email if accepted.
