Board Trainings

Taking Your Board to the Next Level Workshop

Does any of this sound familiar? Your board is working together well, but you suspect your meetings could be more productive. You have board members who are excited about your cause, but they aren’t stepping up to help. You’d like to focus on expanding the skills and knowledge of your board but aren’t sure where to start. Let me develop a custom training session to help the board understand its role in your organization and how the board as a whole, and each individual member, can support your organization fully.

Price: Varies depending on your needs, but starts at $700 for the comprehensive planning and full training.

Board Recruitment Plan Training

All boards struggle with finding the right members. Let me help you plan for successful recruitment. Board recruitment planning includes:

• A survey of current members and discussion about the skills, experiences, and other characteristics that are valuable to the group and will help the organization reach its goals.
• Succession planning conversations that include board terms, cultivating a pipeline of future officers, and building deep and diverse leadership.
• Plan development with ideal board member profiles, suggestions for identifying candidates and criteria for evaluation, recommendations for onboarding, and general board development and training.
• Training the full board on the recruitment process. Even if you have a nominating committee, it’s important for all board members be part of recruiting. We’ll discuss roles, tasks, and timelines and brainstorm networks and relationships that can be explored.

Price: Varies depending on your needs, but starts at $650 for the comprehensive planning and full training.

Board Manual and Orientation Development

Make sure your new board members get off to the right start. I will work with you to create board manuals, develop orientation agendas, and lead orientation sessions for your new board members. You may want to invite the entire board to the orientation for a refresher session.

Board manuals include a wide range of documents organized for the board member. This includes information about the organization, important legal documents, board and committee information, contact information, and the responsibilities of board members. Having this organized to present to new board members will make them feel welcome and ready to serve. More information on creating a board manual.

Price: Will vary depending on what you already have in place.
