Boards and Staff

Does your board know where governance ends and management begins?

A successful nonprofit depends on a strong partnership between the board and staff. However, unclear roles, micromanagement, or disengagement can create tension and inefficiency. How can boards provide strategic oversight while allowing staff to manage day-to-day operations?

This interactive workshop will help board members and nonprofit staff clarify their roles, strengthen collaboration, and build a more effective leadership team.
