Nonprofit board members come from a variety of different backgrounds, but all of them share a commitment to the mission and vision of their organization. This program consists of two major components: asynchronous training on essential skills for board members, and team coaching to help your board identify and reach their goals.
Purchasing this program covers the participation of 6 board members. Each additional board member will be an additional $500 charge to participate.
Coaching
Nonprofits are stronger when the board members understand their roles and can work together cohesively, but this does not often happen naturally. This is why team coaching is an essential part of this program. Your board will receive 4 team coaching sessions to help you identify goals and work through questions that may come up as your work through your training together, which will include a meeting with the Team Leader and Team Coach, informal team assessment, and two team meetings over a 3-month period.
Trainings
The training components provides learners with the critical knowledge and skills required to serve on a nonprofit board. The content covers key topics including legal obligations, financial management, strategic planning, public communication, fundraising, leadership oversight, and measuring progress. Each self-paced course includes interactive activities, case studies, readings, and videos with advice from experts in the field. Learners will complete the certificate with a comprehensive understanding of how nonprofit board members effectively meet the needs of their organization.
