By-laws and Budgets and Governance…Oh My!
A Crash Course in the 10 Basic Responsibilities of a Non-profit Board of Directors
We can’t assume that all new board members come to the table with a full understanding
of their obligations. High-functioning agencies provide orientation for new board
members, but orientation is often based on the assumption that people have board
experience. Proper training and clarity about responsibilities is key in cultivating
an effective board of directors.
United Way of the Piedmont is offering a free, workshop on the basics of boardsmanship
to community volunteers. The curriculum is based on the Ten Basic Responsibilities of Nonprofit Boards published by BoardSource and other national and regional resources. While attendees will not leave this
brief class an expert on boardsmanship, they will at least be exposed to basic
concepts and practices. This class is an appropriate foundation for agency board
orientation.
