Board Bootcamp is part of our Get on Board initiative.
Got skills you’re not using at work? Passionate about a community cause? Certain that life holds more than the daily grind of making ends meet? Ready to be the change you wish to see in the world? Always wondered what serving on a board actually means?
Then you’re ready for…
Board Bootcamp!
What?
Expert facilitator Mike Stone from Impact Strategies, Inc. will guide you through understanding the nonprofit sector, the ins and outs of board service, your basic responsibilities as a board member, and how to find an organization that matches your passion.
Three 90-minute sessions cover:
Session I: The Nonprofit Sector and Nonprofit Boards
Session II: Board Roles and Structures
Session III: Finding Your Place
Then What?
Once you complete Bootcamp, we’ll give you lots of opportunities to connect to area nonprofits with mutual interests. You’ll also be supported by Rolfsen Stewardship Award nominees.*
Give us your time and appetite for learning. We’ll provide lunch and BoardSource training materials to support your hunger.
Thanks to the generous support of our funder, there is no cost to attend, but participants are expected to attend all three sessions. Seating is limited and advance registration is required.
When?
The Board Bootcamp pilot series took place in the fall of 2011. The next series will take place in late spring 2012, repeating in the fall of 2012 and the spring of 2013.
How to sign up?
Because we anticipate strong response to Board Bootcamp, please sign up as soon as registration opens. Registration will open no more than 45 days prior to the program. Sign up for the YLNI newsletter to be among the first alerted.
Who?
Board Bootcamp is for emerging leaders. YLNI paid members will be given the first opportunity to register, followed by the YLNI network, and then the general public.
Board Bootcamp is a program of YLNI and the PCNRC’s Get on Board initiative. Get on Board! is made possible by a grant from Foellinger Foundation.
*What’s a Rolfsen Stewardship Award nominee? Turns out, our community is full of board members who exemplify at least three of BoardSource’s “Ten Basic Responsibilities of a Board.” Since 2005, Foellinger Foundation has honored these folks annually through their Carl D. Rolfsen Stewardship Award. We’ll connect you to nominees based on their experiences and your interests and your mutual desire to connect.
