It doesn’t matter whether a board member is passionate about your organization's cause… Boards get a lot from training… Great volunteers make great board members…

In this one-hour Webinar, you'll also get a preview of Ms. Bradham’s newest research from her book to be published later this fall. Plus you'll hear insights from a business executive who has served on nearly a dozen nonprofit and corporate boards―candid views your own board members might never share with you.
