Bridges to Board: Nonprofit Board Governance

Description

The Chamber’s Nonprofit Committee, in partnership with the Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley, Governance Matters—an affiliate of the New York Council of Nonprofits (NYCON), and the Dyson Foundation are presenting Bridges to Board Service: Making our community stronger through exceptional nonprofit board service. Sessions will provide board members with a critical orientation on the responsibilities, knowledge, and skills needed to be an effective board member.

Board members need to perform certain key duties in order to legally and ethically fulfill their governance responsibilities. This session will define the fiduciary duty of board service in detail and explore exactly what effective governance entails. Strategies to assist current and prospective board members with effectively governing their organizations, including managing conflicts of interest, differentiating governance from management, and navigating in today’s nonprofit landscape will also be covered.  (Board Service 101 is no longer a prerequisite for this course.)
