Board Chairs Academy is a six-month 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.

Board Chairs Academy presents six learning modules associated with evolving a nonprofit board. Each module begins with a 90-minute online presentation accompanied by a participant guide of handouts, readings and exercises. Concepts are then applied through the completion of specific assignments over a two-week period. Each module concludes with a second 90-minute online session that provides a brief review of the topic, invites discussion about the assignments, and uses small and large group interaction for participants to share their learning.
