Nonprofit board members and Executive Directors learn governance skills and best practices to help serve their organizations and community more effectively. Our Board Development programs and services include All On Board training course and our Nonprofit Leadership Academy. We also offer customized trainings for individual nonprofit boards, a lending library, and free technical assistance.
All on Board
This four-week course is geared towards any nonprofit staff or board member looking to gain a better understanding of board member responsibilities. Board members will be better equipped to hone their best governance skills and in return will be a better advocate for their nonprofit. This in turn will benefit our whole community.
The Class of 2025 kicks off on January 30. The deadline to register is January 16, 2025.
Nonprofit Leadership Academy
Our Nonprofit Leadership Academy (NLA) is designed for nonprofit executive directors, those who aspire to an executive position, and senior leadership teams that are leading staff and working with the board. Participants develop best practices for strategic thinking, organizing, and dealing with change.
NLA fosters supportive relationships among new and experienced executive directors and senior leadership while encouraging self-development and professional growth. Past participants have found tremendous value in getting to know their cohorts and discussing each other’s challenges and successes within their respective organizations.
The Class of 2025 kicks off on February 11, 2025. The deadline to register is January 28, 2025.
