Building a board isn’t just about filling seats – it’s about finding the perfect fit for your organization’s mission and creating an environment where every member feels valued and motivated. In this interactive workshop, we’ll walk through a hands-on process for recruiting passionate, skilled board members and keeping them engaged. With insider tips on governance models, board structures, and committee roles, you’ll gain the know-how to create a dynamic, effective board that’s ready to make a real impact!

Objectives:

• Understand the steps to finding, recruiting, and engaging nonprofit board members to increase board capacity and effectiveness.
