Learning Objective

  • To discuss the differences between governance and management.
  • To review what the non-profit will expect of you.
  • To review what you should expect of the non-profit.
  • To explain how to prepare for a leadership role on the board.

Course Overview

Are you a frustrated non-profit board member trying to meet what seems like unrealistic expectations? 

Are you looking forward to serving on a board and aren’t quite sure what to expect? 

Are you a non-profit executive who wants to help board members understand their role?

If so, this CPE Course is the answer.

Many board members don’t know the difference between governance and management. They aren’t quite sure what is expected of them. They want to succeed, but they just don’t know-how. This CPE course will help you understand the roles of the board and staff, how boards are typically structured, and the differences between management and governance.

Speaker Linda Lizakowski will talk about the four roles of board members: leadership, governance, fundraising, and assessment. She will discuss the questions you should ask when considering joining a board, and how a thoughtful process of board recruitment can help you be the best board member you can be.

If you want to learn what board member roles are in leadership, governance, assessment, and fundraising, this is the perfect CPE course for you!
