LET'S TALK ABOUT: Building a Board Pipeline

One of the most important responsibilities of a nonprofit board is to ensure qualified new members are added to its membership and those members remain engaged in the work. Board building shouldn’t happen when it's time to fill a vacancy; it should be an ongoing process with year-round activities. This workshop guides participants through a process that focuses on the steps needed to build an effective board. Understanding these steps can help boards avoid the common ups and downs of building and maintaining an enthusiastic board. 

Nonprofit staff and board me  mbers are welcome!  Space is limited.

COST: FREE!  Please note that if you register and are unable to make the networking event, you will need to let Foundaiton staff know immediately so that others may participate.
