Does Your Nonprofit Need a Governance Tune Up? We Have the Workshops for You!

The Greater New Orleans Foundation's Organizational Effectiveness Initiative is partnering with the Louisiana Association of Nonprofit Organizations, Bayou Community Foundation, and Fletcher Technical Community College to present

a series of FREE workshops this spring focused on Nonprofit Governance.

The first session, "Governance Fundamentals and Board Roles and Responsibilities," is scheduled for Wednesday, March 29 from 9:00 a.m. - 12 Noon at FTCC's Integrated Petroleum Technology building in Schriever.

It is designed for board members, executive directors, and senior staff who are interested in deepening their understanding of nonprofit governance and better aligning the work of the board to heighten board engagement and maximize its impact.

Additional sessions in our Bayou Region will feature other governance-related topics and are scheduled for April 11, May 24, and June 27.
