2016 Building and Managing an Effective Board: Roles and Responsibilities

Share this:

Not all nonprofits are created equal. Knowledge and understanding of expectations for board members is essential to an effective and collaborative board. This workshop will discuss:

• The Four Stages of Board Governance – Founding, Fiduciary, Strategic/Business, and Leadership/Partnership
• Key characteristics of high-performing nonprofit boards
• Understanding common obstacles to building and managing an effective board
• Practical solutions for improving board performance
• Key measures to increase board engagement and motivation

Dennis C. Miller, President & CEO, Revitalizing Your Nonprofit Board

Dennis C. Miller is a nationally recognized strategic advisor with over thirty years’ experience. He works with leaders of nonprofit organizations who want a more motivated and cohesive board, inspirational leadership, and a more engaged strategic vision with greater levels of achievement and measurable results. An expert in leadership transition and succession planning, he works with organizations across the country, small or large, local or global.
Dennis has advised hundreds of nonprofit organizations on how to unlock their true potential by improving the integration of board governance, leadership development, strategic planning, and philanthropy. He is a sought-after motivational speaker and retreat facilitator.
Tom Weatherall, head of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Jersey, said this about him: “Dennis Miller can ‘talk the talk’ because Dennis has ‘walked the walk’; he’s been there, done that! You know immediately that Dennis isn’t merely speaking from the theoretical or from a textbook but rather that he has a wealth of rich and tremendous knowledge to draw from when providing counsel. And his communication style is refreshing – Dennis doesn’t mince words…he tells it like it is! In the seat I occupy, it’s comforting to know I can tap into that treasure of experience to help advance the mission I am privileged to represent.”
