Fall 2026 Nonprofit Workshop Series - Board Governance

About this event

An effective, high-performing Board is the foundation of successful nonprofit organizations. Without this, an organization cannot develop effective strategies, be financially sustainable, or achieve its mission. This workshop details the characteristics of high-performing boards. Appropriate board structure, membership and processes are presented. It also addresses the importance of each director's independence, competence and behavior. It deals with the board's focus on critical issues, its engagement in strategic planning and how it interacts with the Executive Director.

This session is offered twice. Attend either date; the content is the same.

Presenter: Dean Pulliam, The Pulliam Group, consulting on nonprofit governance since 1968 with more than 500 organizations.
