Grow Your Impact with Nonprofit Board Training
Board Academy
annually | in-person | reduced rate for members
Nonprofits play a critical role in the well-being of our community and at the helm of every nonprofit is a governing board. Effective board leadership ensures nonprofits can better achieve their mission. The curriculum educates participants on best practices of board service during four evening sessions.
Board Member Roundtables
qUARTERLY | In-person | free | members only
Leading your nonprofit can be rewarding and often challenging as a volunteer board member. Board Roundtables give you dedicated time, without nonprofit staff members present, to ask questions and discuss topics critical to effective board leadership.
Ready to Lead
2 cohorts annually | FREE
Ready to Lead seeks to support and engage historically under-represented people who wish to serve on nonprofit/government boards, committees, task forces, commissions, and other work groups. We seek to increase both the diversity of skilled people ready to serve and the inclusiveness of organizations who deliver services in the community. Participants will graduate feeling confident with their new skills; have a community mentor, and an expanded network of friends.

When your organization is a member, your staff, board, and volunteers are all eligible for free members-only programming.
