Board Roles + Responsibilities
Zoom
Event Details
This webinar is part of MANP's Get on Board initiative, funded in part by John T. Gorman Foundation, The Betterment Fund and Onion Foundation. 2022 Board Roles + Responsibilities are generously sponsored by Camden National Bank.
A strong board of directors is built upon clear understanding of basic roles and responsibilities. This session will provide an overview of a board’s primary legal duties, important responsibilities and essential roles in governing the organization and stewarding its mission.
Participants will:
- Understand why we join boards
- Clarify the roles of the board and its responsibilities
- Discuss strategies for building and sustaining an effective board
Intended Audience
This webinar is for individuals already serving on nonprofit boards who are seeking an overview of their roles and responsibilities. Board members who have at least six months of board service will gain the most from participation. It is strongly suggested that multiple board members from the same organization and the executive director participate as a team for maximum benefit.
Share any questions when you register. We will do our best to incorporate them into the presentation.
