HALF DAY WORKSHOP

Description:

How often have you said, “our organization could do so much more if our board members:

• Had skill sets that matched our needs?
• Were more diverse and representative of our community
• Had experience that related to our work.
• Knew more about how to participate on a board.
• Were more enthusiastic, informed, active, and engaged?”
