Nonprofit Board Accelerator: Elevate Your Skills & Find Your Match

Board service in the nonprofit sector offers huge benefits to senior leaders - from making a contribution to a greater mission to building skills in board governance. And yet, many nonprofit leaders, whether board members or executives, do not come into their positions with experience or training in board governance.

Through this series, you will:

• Understand the roles and responsibilities of nonprofit board members.
