Many nonprofit organizations are led by well-intended, dedicated, and thoughtful boards of directors. Those generous volunteer leaders also often have little experience with or knowledge of the practical realities faced by professional executive staff. In this session we will discuss how to successfully navigate and manage a board of directors, including understanding the different types of boards of directors, developing foundational documents, and creating systems that set realistic expectations for volunteers and staff alike.
