Members of the Board of Directors serve because they believe in the organization's mission and want to contribute to its success. Board members are volunteers with limited time. They also come from diverse backgrounds, with little knowledge of nonprofits. It is essential that the organization's board is made up of the right people. However, training is needed for both new and current board members. Would you be able to provide the necessary training? Maybe the 2025 Nonprofit Board of Directors Training Series can help. The webinar series consists of five one-hour sessions. Board members can choose to attend live webinars or view on-demand sessions at their convenience. The entire board can also view individual on-demand sessions as part of regularly scheduled meetings. This training series will teach board members about the nonprofit sector, how your organization functions, and what their responsibilities are. As a result, they will be able to contribute more to your organization and provide more effective support to management.

Board Members' Learnings

During each of these highly informative sessions your directors will receive:

• Training directly relevant to their duties and responsibilities
• Acquire a shared understanding of nonprofits and their roles as board members
• Become familiar with how your nonprofit operates and the role and purpose of nonprofit organizations in general
• Get relevant training in the following areas (see outline below for more detail):
  
  • Representing the organization
  • Getting to know the organization's mission, strategy, and financial management
  • Board members' roles in governance and government relations
  • Fundraising and grants in organizations: importance and expectations
  • Board members' role when working with the Executive Director and employees and volunteers

The 2025 Nonprofit Board of Directors Training Series Works Like This:

• The Series consists of five one-hour sessions. Each session lasts 60 minutes. All board members are included in the price.
• Purchase the live webinar, the on-demand webinar, or the live webinar and on-demand webinar.
• The series can be viewed on-demand or live depending on the version you purchase
• We will email you links to each session if you purchase the on-demand or live + on-demand versions of the series.
