Using community input on the nonprofit governance topics most needed, we announced our BOARDS WITH BRAINS roster for 2016 last month. In addition to a variety of nonprofit leadership topics, this year we’ve got ‘tracks’ and levels to help attendees identify which sessions suit attendees best.
Want a print-able version of this roster to post or share at your next Board meeting? Get it here. Want invites delivered directly to your inbox each month? Sign up using the Connect with SVP widget on the left side of this page.
BOARDS WITH BRAINS sessions are open to everyone, whether or not you have an SVP affiliation; if you find the topic relevant, you’re welcome to attend. Designed for nonprofit Board and staff leaders, and we invite you to join in teams to help build alignment around leadership best practices within your organization.
