Series Schedule:
I. Board Basics & Finding Your Passion, April 21, 2010 from 8:30 a.m. to Noon
Begin your quest to serve greater Louisville through volunteer leadership as a board member! In the first of the four-session Get on Board series, you will learn about the scope and nature of public purpose organizations, what to expect and bring to the table through your serving on a board of directors, and the importance of linking your passion to your volunteer leadership experience. We’ll examine the model of effective boards as an example of high functioning teams that perform best when they organize with trust, accountability, diversity, and clear roles and responsibilities.
II. Stewards of Public Trust, May 6, 2010 from 8:30 a.m. to Noon
When you accept the mantle of board membership, the community trusts that you will guide the organization toward its mission success. In this session, you’ll learn the behaviors you and your fellow board members must employ to make that happen. We will highlight the differences between governance and management, and explore the fiduciary responsibilities of board membership.
III. Visionary Leadership, May 13, 2010 from 8:30 a.m. to Noon
A high-performance nonprofit board envisions and creates a bold, successful future with its commitment to values, spirit of optimism, and a pledge to meet the changing demands of the community it serves. In this session, you’ll learn what methods work best to achieve this kind of board performance. This session culminates in roundtable discussions where you will have the opportunity to meet and converse with executive directors and board members from nonprofits who are seeking new board participants. Agencies represented are selected for participation based on alignment with your interests.
IV. Promises to Keep, May 20, 2010 from 8:30 a.m. to Noon
A board member’s pledge to lead and serve finds its meaning not only in the domain of strategy and fiscal oversight, but also within the traditions of a legal agreement with the community, the board, and all other stakeholders. At our final session, we’ll review the obligations implicit in responsible board governance and celebrate your successful completion of this learning experience.
