ANCA CONNECTS: Boards of Directors and Nonprofit Leaders
Description
Running a nonprofit organization is a challenging position for the best of leaders — it takes skill and finesse to direct the mission, strategy and day-to-day operations of an entity, while also working with a board to make critical decisions.
There are few other relationships like that of a board and its executive leader. In this program, Kiersten Hill from Firespring will share insights and tips to achieve success for staff and board members alike. She will discuss top communications strategies for managing the relationship, helping you understand how to identify and fill in the blind spots. This will cover:
- The make-up of a board, where it all begins
- 5 smart ways to build your board of directors
- 10 tips for driving from the passenger seat
- Subtle signs the board is NOT engaged
- How to get your board to make major expenditures
This program takes place on Zoom and will include small group discussions led by ANCA members.
