If a board can make or break a nonprofit, what makes or breaks a nonprofit board? With surprisingly few legal guidelines to follow, nonprofit boards can look, feel, and function very differently from one another, even with the same assumed purpose. This class explores what your board’s role must be, what its goals could be, and what it means for board members to be effective, collectively and individually. Whether you’re a long-serving, aspiring, new, or simply curious board member, you’ll walk away with a contextual view of nonprofit governance, and a fresh look through an equity lens at the balance of power between boards, executive leadership, and the communities they serve.
