Imagine you’re about to join a new board. You’re new to the role and the organization. You’re excited for the opportunity but feeling completely overwhelmed by the responsibilities.  

You’re not alone—many new board members face this challenge. But what if there was a way to quickly get up to speed and make a meaningful impact from day one? 

Or maybe your board is feeling out of alignment or unclear on their role with the organization’s work. Your non-profit is suffering lack of direction because responsibilities and guiding practices are unclear. How could you get the team all on the same page in a quick, self-paced format that would provide them the essentials for their success as directors? 

In today’s fast-paced world, effective governance is more crucial than ever for non-profit organizations. Understanding the roles and responsibilities of a board of directors can make a significant difference in how an organization operates and achieves its mission.
