You are invited to join the Edison Institute for an informative, interactive session focused on practical strategies for building a more engaged, effective, and high-functioning nonprofit board.
Strong governance requires more than bringing talented people around the table. It requires clear expectations, productive meetings, healthy communication, and a shared understanding of how board members and staff work together to advance the mission.
This session will move beyond governance theory and provide practical guidance participants can bring back to their organizations.
Attendees will explore common challenges that prevent boards from reaching their full potential and learn five essential practices for creating greater clarity, accountability, and engagement in the boardroom.
Discussion topics will include:
- Establishing clear boundaries between the board and staff
- Designing meetings that lead to meaningful discussion and decisions
- Helping committees become more focused and productive
- Setting clear expectations for board participation
- Building the trust needed for honest conversations
Whether you are a board member, executive director, nonprofit leader, or someone considering board service, this session will offer useful takeaways to strengthen governance, improve collaboration, and help your board better support its organization’s mission.
