The Nonprofit Forum provides the opportunity for our nonprofit members to come together to obtain valuable information and promote the mission of their organization.

Nonprofit organizations are on the front lines when it comes to addressing social issues, offering quality of life opportunities, and promoting and advancing education and job creation. Their success and ability to serve the community is tied to the engaged leadership of their board of directors. In this presentation, Dr. Bravo will talk about Board leadership, what it means to be a fiduciary, and how to identify and onboard new board directors so they understand their role and are prepared to jump in at the first meeting.

Topics to be covered include:

• Fiduciary Oversight

• Board and Board member role - Tips for finding a good board match

• Board performance expectations
