Most executive directors of social justice organizations know they're supposed to build their boards, yet many don't get around to it.  Or even worse, their efforts fail to produce the board they want.  No wonder so many executive directors feel frustrated and ambivalent about board development. 

This interactive workshop, webinar, or presentation makes the case for building an engaged board and provides clear, easy-to-use tools and articles designed for social justice leaders. 

We'll explore:

• How did we get here? Following boards and leading boards
• Understanding the core responsibilities of a governing board
• Fostering a strong board/executive director partnership: Some do's and don'ts
• Getting into the mix: Tips for strategically developing the composition of your board
• What's the role of the board chair?
• Having board meetings that members want to attend

All sessions include access to the Boards Matter: Board Building Tools For the Busy Social Justice Executive guidebook.
