The Nonprofit Leadership Center’s Board Governance Rock Star Certificate series is a six-hour program over two evenings that covers the fundamental nonprofit governance concepts every nonprofit leader should understand and practice. If you want to serve a chosen organization with passion and impact, this is the certificate for you.

During these engaging and interactive sessions, you’ll explore case studies and learn best practices for board structure and practices, board member roles and responsibilities, and financial and legal oversight. You’ll also build an invaluable network of nonprofit leaders that you can consult anytime.

To earn the certificate, you must attend both this session, Essentials for a Rock Star Board Meeting, and the other session in the Certificate program: How to Be a Nonprofit Board Rock Star on September 18, 2024. You must register for each of these sessions separately.

Essentials for a Rock Star Board Meeting

Take a deeper dive into what makes rock star boards work so well. Learn about the most efficient and effective ways to utilize committees and run your meetings. What exactly is an executive committee meeting, anyway? And when do you call one? What do those financial reports mean? What questions should you be asking? Emily Benham, FAHP, CFRE, and Dr. Maureen Butler, PhD, CPA, will share the processes and information that rock star boards need to operate at peak efficiency and greatest impact.

After this session, you’ll understand:

• How to plan and run a successful meeting
• The board’s role in financial oversight
• Your nonprofit’s financial statements
• Budgeting and cash flow management
• Audits and IRS filings
