Description

Leveraging your specialist professional skills and experience as an NFP board member is not only personally rewarding and a development opportunity, it can make a significant impact towards an NFP organisation. But it’s your role as a leader which will set you apart as a board member: how you take up your board role, the dynamics around the board table, how decisions are made, aligning with vision, mission and values.

Drawing on the experience of our expert facilitators, a range of dynamic guest speakers and a diverse group of peers in the room, you will examine:

  • The motivation of board members and the connection to vision and mission
  • The technical responsibilities of NFP board members; legal compliance, financial oversight, risk management
  • The roles of board members in setting the strategic direction
  • Board processes and governance
  • The leadership component of an NFP board role, including: developing strategy, developing relationships, communication, decision making and ethics
  • Finding the right board role
  • Barriers and challenges to fulfilling a board role.

Participants will also undertake an individual Skills Assessment to identify the strengths they bring to a board role and their areas for development.


Who should attend?

Recently appointed board members; board members who have not previously undertaken formal board role development; those considering or aspiring to a board role; executives and managers seeking to understand the roles and responsibilities of board members.
