Whether you’re just starting out or have been in the Non-Profit world for a while, the New Year is always the perfect time to reflect, self-assess, or evaluate your team’s objectives, including those of your Board members.
How do you begin this assessment? Let start by making sure you’re up to speed on the latest best practices. SupportBlackCharities wants to help you succeed on your way to fulfilling your mission.
We found this great free online course created by The Washington Non-Profit Institute, (https://www.wanonprofitinstitute.org/) called Boards in Gear.
Boards in Gears (https://www.wanonprofitinstitute.org/boards/) covers the five main areas of strong board practice:
1 – Connection to cause
2 – Roles & Responsibilities
3 – Composition & Development
4 – Board Operations
5 – Fundraising Principles & Engagement
Along with helpful downloadable tools, each video features tips from experts in the field that offer great, relevant examples.
We suggest to have your whole team and board members watch these short but very informational videos to help everyone get on the same page and have the same understanding and expectations about roles and responsibilities.
