Board Governance Training

Designed for current and aspiring nonprofit board members

Serving on a nonprofit board is a meaningful way to contribute your skills and leadership to your community—but it also comes with important responsibilities. Our Board Governance Training is a foundational, high-level training designed for individuals who want to better understand what effective nonprofit board service entails.

This training is ideal for:

• Newer board members
• Individuals considering nonprofit board service
• Current board members seeking a refresher on best practices
• Organizations that want to send one or two board members, rather than purchasing a full customized training

What to Expect

This training provides a broad overview of nonprofit board governance and is not customized to a specific organization. Participants will gain practical, universally applicable knowledge that can be used across nonprofit boards of all types.

Topics include:

• Core roles and responsibilities of nonprofit board members
• Fiduciary duties and expectations
• Financial oversight and accountability
• Legal responsibilities and risk management
• Fundraising roles and responsibilities of board members

Each session is structured to provide essential guidance while allowing time for questions based on participants’ individual experiences.
