Certificate in Nonprofit Board Governance Training Series
Your Community
Every community deserves services that help it thrive! Citizens have a basic human right to affordable housing, access to healthcare, safe streets, legal representation, mental health counseling, world-class education, workforce skills development, clean air, greenspace, and a variety of additional social, economic, and religious benefits. Not-for-profit organizations are vital to every community because they provide these services in heroic ways that sustain our citizens and build thriving communities. Nonprofit organizations stand in the gap for so many people when they need a helping hand.
Our not-for-profit organizations cannot be effective and high-performing, meeting their missions and creating impact unless they have a board of directors that understands its roles and responsibilities, willingly accepts those roles and responsibilities, and then executes their duties with the same accountability and leadership skills they employ in other areas of their lives.
We are excited to introduce 501c Impact! The Nonprofit Board Governance Game as one of the creative resources we utilize in training our participants!
To eliminate the struggle to find these qualified board members, our firm offers a Certificate in Nonprofit Board Governance program that trains individuals to serve on the board of directors of not-for-profit organizations, with the goal of creating a pipeline of qualified individuals that organizations can access, review, form a relationship with, and determine whether there is a good fit for what the organization and the certified board prospect are both seeking.
We partner with businesses, grant funding organizations, government entities, universities, and other entities by having them join us as a co-sponsor to offer this program in the community, for a cohort of trainees from either the sponsoring organization or from the community at-large, who are ready to lend their time, talent, and treasure in service to the community.
