LeadershipConnect:
Board Governance Best Practices and Committee Roles Post Pandemic
Join NonProfitConnect and governance expert Susan Meier for this two-part interactive webinar on learning how to step up your board’s effectiveness post pandemic. The pandemic isn’t in our rearview mirror quite yet, but our leaders need to be looking forward to be intentional about where we go from here. What lessons have we learned through Covid that are influencing how we will function in the weeks, months, and years to come? What kind of board do we wish to be: a transactional board or more of a strategic board? And how might we move from one to the other? Do board members truly understand the difference between governance and management….and do their actions align with the great governance practices? PPP loans kept many nonprofits afloat in 2020, but what will we do without them now?
In the second session we will identify the nuances of high performing committees. Which committees do you really need? Which ones are functioning at a high level and why? We will explore these issues, and many more.
