Did you know that 66.7% of nonprofit boards rarely or never receive governance training? This startling statistic from our recent poll highlights a critical gap in organizational leadership. Effective governance is the backbone of any successful nonprofit, yet many boards are operating without the necessary tools and knowledge. Regular training isn't just a checkbox—it's a lifeline for your organization. It ensures compliance, sharpens strategic decision-making, and enhances risk management. Plus, it equips your board with the skills to boost fundraising efforts and foster inclusive leadership. Don't let your board fall behind. Take the first step towards excellence by joining our Be A Better Board Member Workshop on August 21, 2024, from 8:30 am - 11:30 am at the Rio Grande Valley Partnership in Weslaco. Sign up now and transform your board's potential! Only 30 slots available. https://lnkd.in/gcrfqm3f #boarddevelopment #boardtraining #nonprofit

Nonprofit leaders, do you find your new board members are confused, disengaged or even dropping out before the end of their first year of service? There could be a number of reasons this is happening. Today, let’s talk about board orientations. You should provide an orientation that deepens new board members’ connection with your organization, helps them understand their role and how the organization operates, and inspires them to be involved. In “A Template for a Great Board Orientation,” Joan Garry Consulting outlines a simple new board member orientation plan, binder and session.
