Self-Advocacy and Self-Actualization
Details
About the event
What is your role in your organization and what is required to keep that position? Do you need to code-switch? Dim your light? Do you feel like you put your own needs last or downplay them? We will examine your goals and dreams to develop an individualized plan and align that with what you are doing now. What might shift for you if you really prioritized yourself? The possibilities are exciting and scary, and you don’t need to leap, just step.

The Board Governance Role – Helping Your Nonprofit Thrive
with Roger Gullickson
Board members are the trusted guardians navigating the nonprofit toward enduring success. They embrace robust, principled, and lawful strategies in governance and fiscal oversight while ensuring the organization is well-equipped to drive its mission forward. In order to fulfill this role, board members must be well-prepared and aware of their roles and responsibilities. This session will help clarify the board member role. Taos programs are presented in partnership with the Taos Community Foundation.
