NAM Announces Virtual Nonprofit Board Masters Training Series February 8-12
In an effort to help members of nonprofit boards strengthen governing skills and get a thorough understanding of their role, the Nonprofit Association of the Midlands (NAM, nonprofitam.org/events) is offering a virtual Board Masters Training Series from noon to 1 p.m. daily, February 8-12. NAM will cover the most important aspects of board governance in this interactive program, with a goal that participants leave with clarity about the roles and responsibilities of boards of directors as governing bodies and a plan to make the board on which they serve the best it can be.
Board Masters was created for current and potential board members—for organizations big and small alike—who want to learn how to better serve nonprofit organizations, regardless of their levels of experience. Participants will learn how effective boards function, tackle the essential tasks of nonprofit board members, and create a plan of action to address opportunities. To get the maximum benefit from this training, NAM strongly encourages that at least one board member and one senior-level staff member from each nonprofit attend all five days of training together. The cost is just $125 for members and $250 for not-yet members.
NAM is a state association that represents more than 650 nonprofit organizations in Nebraska and southwest Iowa. With their growing base of nonprofits, NAM is committed to enhancing public recognition of the important role of the nonprofit sector, providing access to highquality assistance and information, advocating on issues that affect the capacity of nonprofits to address community needs, and fostering communication and cooperation among nonprofits.
