Building a Powerhouse Board: Tech-Forward, Mission-Aligned, Ready to Lead
Let’s be honest — most nonprofit boards are underutilized, overcomplicated, or simply stuck in the past. They meet irregularly, operate with unclear expectations, and too often become more symbolic than strategic. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
This Lunch & Learn is your nonprofit’s roadmap to building (or rebuilding) a board that’s deeply aligned with your mission — and ready to lead in a modern, tech-enabled world.
We’re cutting through the noise and giving you a clear framework for what works now. Whether you're recruiting your first board or trying to revamp a tired one, this session will help you design a board structure that empowers—not just advises.
