The Role of the Board Chair

Serving as chair of the board is not for the uninspired or undecided. Whether you’re just stepping into this role or are a seasoned board leader, this 4-part training will help you not only learn about the board chair responsibilities but also how to bring your best leaderful self to the role, artfully facilitate meetings that net results, and improve the leadership work of the board as a whole.

You’ll leave with tools and knowledge on the leadership characteristics of effective board leaders, key relationships in and out of the board room, your leadership legacy, facilitating meetings that matter, and ways to engage individual board members.

Board members, incoming board chairs, board committee chairs, and executive directors are encouraged to attend.

Sessions take place Thursdays from 3:00-4:00 p.m. EST.

All sessions will be recorded and available to all registered participants. Participants who are unable to attend one or more of the sessions will still have access to all course materials.
