The Board Governance Role – Helping Your Nonprofit Thrive
Details
About the event
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.
