Building a Board That Works
Webinar Description
To be effective, nonprofits must recruit and retain board members who support their ideals, represent the diversity of the community, and bring a wide range of skills. This workshop covers:
- How boards change as organizations grow and change
- Finding and filling the gaps on your board
- Creating and using a board job description
- Board orientation strategies
The stories we tell about our organizations let folks know why we exist and the impact we’re having on those we serve. The stories we tell about the work being done on our refuges and hatcheries should motivate folks to care about and support these sites.
