Learn how nonprofit boards work and how you can make a difference from any seat on the board

If you're feeling lost, this course will be a roadmap that will get you (and perhaps your whole nonprofit board!) on track.
What are the 7 key responsibilities of any board member?
What's your role? What is your job and what is the job of staff (if you have any)? This bootcamp will give you a high-level overview of your job that is filled with practical tips to making your time on the board count.
How do board meetings work and how can they be improved?
Board and committee meetings are the main area where the work of the board happens. We will deconstruct how they work, give guidance on how to participate, and look for ways you (yes, you!) can make the meetings better.
What does it mean to be a board officer and how can you lead the board?
What does it mean to be president, vice president, secretary, or treasurer? We'll cover the expectations of these roles and give tips on leading. We'll also talk about how to get out of these roles when your time is done.
Some courses for board members charge hundreds or thousands of dollars. Or they require ongoing subscription fees for access.
I know that most small nonprofits can't afford those costs. This course charges a low one-time fee for lifetime access. — Erik
