Lunch ‘n’ Learn: Your Foundation for Board Service

 Lunch ‘n’ Learn: Your Foundation for Board Service
Tuesday, June 20 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM | Part 1 of 2-Part Short-Session Series (attend just one or both sessions!)

Presented by: Janet Unger, Unger Consulting Services

Offered in Partnership with: Unger Consulting Services

Do you have questions about the unique role of your nonprofit’s Board of Directors? What are the functions of the board that cannot be delegated to management? This short session will complement your organization’s orientation process and will be beneficial for both new and experienced board members as well as those advancing into executive leadership positions. Join PANO and nonprofit governance expert Janet Unger to gain valuable insights that will reduce potential misunderstandings about your nonprofit board.

You will:

• Grasp the legal responsibilities of the board
• Get clarity about the collective role of the Board of Directors
• Discover facets of board service that will vary in every organization
• Recognize why conflict can easily arise between the board and management
• Receive practical pointers on the expectations of dynamic Directors
• Identify how the evolutionary status of your agency will impact board practices
• Quickly capture the essence of your board structure

This session will not be recorded so take advantage of this opportunity to inquire about issues that you have been reluctant to ask elsewhere. Leave this brief overview inspired to engage more confidently with your board and better prepared to assume a nonprofit leadership position in the future.

Please have a copy of your bylaws with you when joining this discussion.
