3-A. Transform Today’s Board into Tomorrow’s Board

Nonprofit boards must stay abreast of evolving trends so they can effectively fulfill their missions in the future. However, it isn’t always easy for board members to remain agile, effective, and connected in a rapidly changing operating environment. This session will explore a range of manageable actions that board members can implement at their own pace to prepare themselves for the future. Listen as a seasoned governance advisor shares practices that can help you maintain personal connections among board members despite the popularity of online meetings, encourage trustees to reassess their financial and logistical responsibilities in light of societal challenges like climate change and economic volatility, and ensure board members remain transparent, responsive, and open to stakeholder representation.
