Do your board members fully understand their role and have enough confidence in the role to make a difference?

We invite new board members onto our team because they have valuable skills that our organizations need. But too often we don't spend enough time helping them translate their experience into effective board work. Getting them acclimated to board service not only helps them "hit the ground running," but also makes the experience of board service more satisfying for them. This improves the odds that they will want to take on a bigger role, or serve another term!

At CNPE, we've developed a series of three classes that helps board members better understand how they can make a difference in the organizations they serve. (It's also good for board members who are new to a committee or particular role - or for someone who is beginning to take on more responsibility within the board.)

This series is designed to help board members take a deep dive into key aspects of their role - governance, finance and fundraising/development. For many organizations, these are three key board committees. Ed Cortas, VP of Strategic Initiatives and Consulting, will lead these classes, which are virtual and scheduled over the lunch hour to make it easier for people to attend. 

Board members can attend one - or all three. If more than one board member from the same organization comes, they qualify for a discount.  You can register for each class by clicking on the link below. Please share this with your board! (Remember, if you are a member organization, your board members receive a discount when they register for any of our CNPE classes.)
