Board Engagement and Transformation: Managing Risk and Maximizing Impact

Nonprofit boards have significant legal, moral, and oversight responsibility to the missions they serve. Yet many board members come equipped with passion and enthusiasm, but without a clear understanding of how to navigate their role as members of a governing team. In some cases, board members heighten, instead of alleviate the risks a nonprofit faces. This session explores common mistakes made by well-intentioned boards, and proactive approaches to steer and coach a board into better governance practices. Attend this session to better understand the governance gaps on the boards you serve on—or support—and pathways to foster a culture of accountability and effectiveness.
