Andy Robinson

To be effective, nonprofits must recruit board members who support their ideals, represent the diversity of the community, and bring a wide range of skills. This day-long workshop is broken into two parts: the morning session focusses on how to build an effective board; the afternoon is devoted to effective fundraising.
 

Topics include:

  • How boards change as organizations grow and change
  • Finding and filling the gaps on your board
  • Creating and using a board “job description”
  • Board orientation strategies
  • Training and motivating your board to raise money
