Do you love your community and want to become more involved? Would you consider becoming a nonprofit board member, but first want to know more?
If so, Incourage Community Foundation is offering a workshop that will help you become the best board member you can be.
Incourage is offering Get on Board! a training session geared toward people who have never served on a nonprofit board before. It takes place Tuesday, March 20, 4:30-6:30 p.m. at Hotel Mead. Cost is $15. The session will cover questions to ask before joining a board; basic board roles and responsibilities; the board/staff partnership; and understanding boardroom dynamics. This workshop is open to the public.
Back by popular demand is our presenter, governance expert Chuck Loring, of Loring, Sternberg & Associates, and senior governance consultant with BoardSource. Chuck is a dynamic speaker who has helped hundreds of nonprofits nationwide improve their governance.
Register for this session by calling 715.423.3863.
The future of a healthy community depends on a vibrant nonprofit sector; our local organizations need individuals willing to lead. I hope to see you on March 20.
