Your board of directors sets the tone and direction of your organization, but how do you build a strong, diverse, and engaged board? And once you build it, how do you maintain member involvement? This training will provide a step-by-step guide on how to build an effective board and offer strategies for keeping members involved and accountable.

The training will be delivered online over the course of 4 weeks, beginning on April 23. Each week, except for the introductory week, will include a 75-minute facilitated webinar. In addition to participating in the webinar, you can expect to spend an hour per week completing written assignments, readings, or watching videos. CEUs will be awarded for this training.
