3-Part Series Online via Zoom

Board Member Boot Camp is designed to help clarify the roles and responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Executive Director. At the conclusion of this three-part training series, attendees will leave having a better understanding of their roles, tasks, and what is and isn’t their responsibility. In addition, attendees will be able to identify strategies to increase board member engagement. This training is ideal for executive directors, their board members, and those looking to join a nonprofit board.

– Whose job is it anyway?
– Understanding the role of the Executive Director (and the staff), the difference between a board member, the board, and the officers of the board
– The importance of onboarding new board members & building the right board culture
– Fundraising & development
– Board and staff responsibilities for fundraising and how each supports the other
– Divide & conquer
– The importance of bylaws, policy manuals, and committees
– What are we supposed to be doing anyway?
– Know your role so you can be confident and ready to participate as an active and engaged board member in all aspects of the organization

Join us for a thorough review of what it means to be part of a nonprofit board, presented by nonprofit expert, Mary Beth Harrington.

Do you know whether the nonprofit Board or the Executive Director is responsible for these tasks? Hint: if you think it's the job of the Executive Director, it's time to sign up for this course!

Online registration includes the recording of the session and handouts provided by the speaker.

More about the speaker:

For over 30 years, Mary Beth Harrington has been one of the nonprofit sectors most passionate supporters. Her career path is unique, as she has not focused on one sector. Rather, she has worked with all nonprofits from Aids to Zoos and everything in between; usually providing training most notably as Director of Curriculum & Development at the San Antonio Area Foundation, Director of Agency Relations at the Volunteer Center of North Texas, and as Director of Community Outreach at the Texas Association of Nonprofit Organizations (TANO).

Harrington’s presentations are based on the knowledge she has gained working with hundreds of nonprofits as well as her own experiences as Executive Director at the Austin Public Library Foundation, Volunteer Coordinator at the Dallas Public Library, member of numerous nonprofit boards and Director of Marketing at BloodCare (now Carter BloodCare) where her nonprofit career began.

A passionate expert for the nonprofit sector, Harrington crisscrosses the country articulating issues facing our nonprofit community; urging nonprofits to welcome new leadership, collaborate to be more effective, and develop their boards to be more sustainable. A much sought-after speaker, her presentations are characterized as energetic, thought provoking and content rich. (So hang onto your seats!)

Harrington was born and raised in Dallas but recently moved to the Pacific Northwest as she got tired of the hot sunny days in Texas! When not speaking on behalf of nonprofits, Harrington spends time with her husband Rick, her grown children Kaylee and Chris as well as her “puppies” Rugby Roo and Truly Scrumptious (photos available upon request!)
