 DESCRIPTION:
Board service doesn’t end with meetings and minutes. Today’s nonprofit boards are being called upon to serve as visible champions, accountable stewards, and powerful partners to their executive directors. This 2-hour interactive workshop will ground board members in the core responsibilities of community representation, offer practical strategies for supporting the executive director without overstepping governance boundaries, and clarify what real accountability looks like—individually and collectively.

This session will challenge participants to reflect on how their presence, communication, and decision-making affect the organization’s integrity, public trust, and leadership effectiveness. Designed for both new and seasoned board members, the workshop draws on principles of justice, equity, and inclusive governance to elevate board culture and performance.
