Board Training & Retreats

Board training is necessary for all board members to be sure they have the knowledge and understanding to effectively carry out their critical role in the organization.

CNM recommends board training once a year, whether you have new board members or not, to build a shared vision for the board and develop a strong team.  Recurring training also keeps skills fresh and helps remind new and old board members of their many important roles while also learning any new regulations or strategies at the forefront of nonprofit governance.

The 3-4 Hour Board Training “Effective Board Governance” provides an interactive environment with a range of topics including:

  • Changing Times for Nonprofits and What it Means for Your Board
  • Mission & Purpose
  • Legal and Ethical Obligations of the Board
  • Effective Governance Strategies:
    • Structure of the Board
    • Recruitment & Orientation
    • Evaluation & Assessment
    • Strategies for Effective Meetings
  • Board/Staff Roles and Responsibilities:
    • Strategic Planning
    • Fund Development
    • Program Evaluation
    • Financial Management
    • Operational Management: Facilities, Technology, Legal/HR
  • Best Practices for a Highly-Effective Board

We will work with the Executive Director and Board President to develop the areas to emphasize during the workshop, as well as learn about the current function of your board and board/staff relations.

Additional Services
The Center for Nonprofit Management can also provide:

  • Full-day Workshops:
    Our full-day Board Trainings/ Workshops are an excellent tool to set-up your strategic planning process or development projects.

  • Facilitated Board and/or Staff Retreats:
    We are experts at designing effective meeting strategies and facilitating events that produce results. We will work with you to plan an agenda that accomplishes your specific goals. During the event, we will guide the process, capture discussion and ideas and encourage 100% participation. After the event we help create action plans to ensure effective follow-up. Whether you need one master facilitator or a team of facilitators, we can help.
