Does Board Service Ignite Passion, Leadership, and Impact?
Serving on a nonprofit Board of Directors can be a rewarding and often life-changing experience for members. Directors have a seat at the table to address challenges, launch initiatives, and guide the organization’s future. At the beginning of a new term, every director wants to be effective in the role and have good experiences on the Board. The journey to lead requires forethought and a roadmap to success.
The first year of Board service will set the stage for the remainder of the term. You can help directors be more effective, experience meaningful engagement, and deliver lasting impact on your organization. Explore how you can help new directors develop leadership experiences to drive engagement beyond terms of service and help new Board members find ways to continue their Board service as officers or to serve as a director for additional eligible terms.
Attend the live webinar to ask questions and interact with other membership professionals. We will conclude with a discussion how to engage past presidents and keep them in the fold helping to better the organization and advance mission. Take these insights back to your organization for a better Board experience for all!
Are you ready to implement a new approach to Board leadership?
