Why Attend Board Member Training?
Being asked to join a board is quite a compliment. It means the organization feels you have the knowledge or experience to bring a positive impact to the board. But perhaps you’ve never served on a board before or are an existing member but want to expand your knowledge. If so, here are a few tips:
- Learn more about the industry. You’ll need to know how well competitors are doing to evaluate the performance of your organization
- Learn about the company or organization. You need to understand how it operates if you’re going to help guide its future.
- Be clear about your role on the board. You’re there to represent your communities and to be a sounding board for management. The more you know, the better.
Need help with any (or all) of the above? You’re not alone. We’ve created the Board Member & Trustee Training for exactly that reason.
What’s included in the Board Member training?
- Board Responsibilities
