Laura will present two workshops for United Way of King County this fall:
Advanced Board Leadership
(co-presented with ArtsFund, Social Venture Partners and UW Nancy Bell Evans Center)
October 21 and 28, 8:30 am-12:30 pm, Cost: $125
Presented with LPC Associate Amanda Madorno
This course goes beyond the standard orientation to board roles and responsibilities. In two half-day course sessions, participants will explore a variety of leadership challenges. The sessions will cover the context of leadership; adaptive leadership; elements of effective board leadership; leading change; generative governance; effective partnerships between board members and with the organization’s CEO; and the application of concepts to participants’ specific leadership work in the community. The course is designed for experienced board members.
Board Recruitment
December 9, 2010, 8:30 am-11:30 am, The 2100 Building, Seattle, Cost: $40
One of the most important responsibilities of nonprofit boards is board development: renewing and strengthening the board through skills development and recruitment of talented new members. In this workshop, participants will focus on the recruitment side, learning:
- The three life stages of nonprofit boards and what type of board members are needed at each stage of development
- A six step process for board recruitment
- How to identify board members with the skills and experience your organization needs
