Details for "Building Effective Committees"

 

Strong board committees are the backbone of an organization, and yet, the reality is that in many nonprofits, committees are its weakest link.   When committee members understand their role, have a clearly defined direction, an enabling staff, and organized and experienced leadership, the sky’s the limit.

Participants will:

• Examine the ten-step process required to build committee strength and effectiveness
• Learn techniques for recruiting committee members
