What skills, practices and characteristics does it take for a board chair to truly excel at the role? Two governance experts will answer this question, drawing from research and years of grounded observation.

This session will cover: 

  • What are the basic responsibilities of the board chair? An updated list for our time
  • What does research tell us makes the difference between a very good and not-so-good board chair?
  • How has the board chair role evolved in the last twenty years and what leadership and governance principles does that reflect?

This session is ideal for executive directors, chairs, vice-chairs, and others who work closely with or may one day step into the board chair role.

Many nonprofit organizations have questions about the staffing of their financial systems and, indeed, those staffing needs are highly dependent on any number of factors – size, and types of revenue and transactions to name two. But what are the real options that make most sense in your organization?

This session will cover: 

  • How do you know when your organization has grown enough to hire its first chief financial officer?
  • How do you know when to expand staffing to meet the growing functions required of a fast-paced, growth-oriented nonprofit?
  • What are the models for staffing? 
  • When is outsourcing the right choice? 
  • How about interim staff or consultants to support CFO transitions?
