Building a Better Board: Getting the Right People for the Job
Do you struggle to find great new board members – ones who will get engaged and take an active role on your board? Are your new board members not meeting your expectations? Do you have excessive board turnover? This seminar will address these all-too-common issues using the concept of The Board Building Cycle. Participants will get practical tips and tools to help find, recruit, elect, and retain qualified, engaged board members. This seminar is geared toward board members and staff who assist with board recruitment.
