Four Cornerstones of Nonprofit Board Governance

Wouldn’t it be great if each of your board members knew what they need to do and why? Board member job descriptions may vary from organization to organization, but core legal and ethical responsibilities do not.

Description

Join Funding for Good as we explain what EVERY nonprofit board member needs to understand before they say “YES” to serving on a board.

During this 75-minute webinar, our experts will tackle frequently asked questions such as:

What is fair for us to expect from our board?
What does the government expect from our board?
What happens if we fail to hold board members accountable?
