Description

Join the United Way of the Greater Chippewa Valley Emerging Leaders + the Young Professionals of the Chippewa Valley for a joint professional development event preparing community members to serve on local boards.  If you're new to board leadership or thinking about becoming a board member, this session will prepare you to confidently serve your community. 

Board Membership provides Measurable Benefits for You and the Nonprofit You Serve

Board members are a vital component to the success of nonprofit organizations.  You know this. But how do you know you’re doing a good job? And while it might feel a bit self-serving to say it out loud, how can you serve a nonprofit in a way that meets your own goals as well? 

During this workshop you’ll have the opportunity to learn the nuts and bolts of nonprofit board service, ask questions about what it means to be a great board member, and discover how you can add value while fulfilling your own personal and professional objectives.
