Workshop Facilitated by Laura Otten, Ph.D.

It’s an ongoing challenge to find qualified Board members who bring the appropriate skills, temperament, expectations, and passion to the organization they serve. Once you have strong Board members, how do you keep them motivated and content? This full-day workshop will reveal the perpetual cycle of Board assessment and development that propels healthy organizations. Participants will learn how to monitor and build their Boards’ profiles in terms of skill, experience, expertise, and demographics; explore strategies to recruit new Board candidates; develop effective Board member orientation; manage officer and committee chair succession and Board performance appraisals; and run effective meetings. This workshop is designed for the Executive Director, Board President and Committee Chairs.
