So, you are serving on a Nonprofit Board, Now WHAT?
New board members have great enthusiasm for the mission of the organization that they join. They are ready to get to work and excited to help in whatever way they can. They have likely received an orientation on how the nonprofit raises funds, programming offered, and what responsibilities the new board member is expected to serve. This is valuable information sets up new board members for success and to be great assets to their organizations.
Often left out of these orientations is discussion around the legal role of a board member and their relationship to staff, the rest of the board, and volunteers. This half-hour presentation orients new board members on the basic principles of what it means to serve on a nonprofit board. The presentation will also help create a peer network of board members to help foster support.
