Not-For-Profit Board Governance Series

in 2012

To apply online, Click http://www.uwlafayette.org/TheGovernanceSeries.html.

 

A continuing education series designed to improve the effectiveness of nonprofit organizations by strengthening boards of directors has been developed by The Community Foundation and is being jointly sponsored by NCHS, United Way of Greater Lafayette, Ivy Tech Corporate College, and The Community Foundation of Greater Lafayette. This series is especially designed for the volunteer leaders on the Boards of Not-For-Profit Corporations.

 

The purpose of this program is to strengthen and sustain Not-For-Profit Boards by building knowledge about responsible oversight and governance, and effective responses to policy and management issues faced by today’s Not-For-Profit volunteer leaders. The continuing education series is designed for, and limited to, Board volunteers and Executive Directors.

 

Leading regional and national instructors, with expertise in topics relating to board governance and leadership, will present information essential to guiding and sustaining Not-For-Profits.  A networking reception with refreshments will conclude each session.

 

Apply as soon as possible to be considered for the 2012 education series. A limited number of seats will be available. Priority will be given to not-for-profit organizations with a Board member/Executive Director team from Tippecanoe and the contiguous counties. Priority will be also be given to those who apply for the entire Series. Past attendees may request to attend specific sessions, and will be given priority over those who have never attended.
