Board Chairs Academy - The ABCs of Developing a Nonprofit Board: Evolving a Board to Its Potential

Governing an evolving organization requires an evolving board of directors. This Learning Lab will provide an overview of how to develop a dynamic board of directors with an evolving focus on diversity, inclusion, equity, and access. Discussions include the evolution of board development as an element of governance responsibilities, board assessments against an organizational picture of success, board recruitment strategies, board orientation, and effective board meetings.

Board Chairs Academy is an online learning and virtual community experience to help board members of charitable organizations, associations and congregations excel at providing strategic governance to their favorite causes. Each Learning Lab is accompanied by a participant guide of handouts, readings and exercises, and features expert presentations as well as small and large group interaction for participants to share their learning.

The Board Chairs Academy is a suite of learning opportunities and consultation services designed to meet nonprofit boards where they are at. Introduced by Third Sector Company in 2006, over 500 organizations have participated in the United States and Canada.
