Board Development

Board development should be part of an overall volunteer management and leadership development initiative. The development of these key volunteer leaders depends on a well thought out plan that begins with recruitment and training.  It is about identifying people who will care about your organization, are willing to support it and assume leadership positions.

In the past, board responsibilities were primarily advice and consent with minimal financial support. Today, board members need to provide significant financial support and become community ambassadors  for their organizations. As many of them lack the skills and experience to make this transition, training is needed.
