Leading through Change – The Effective Board

About the Workshop: 

When a board is doing great work together, it energizes mission and the staff who deliver it. But often, boards need a path to engagement and a culture that supports it.

Join us to learn:

• Why boards can lose their steam
• What role board leadership plays in engagement
• Tricks and tools to keep your board vibrant
• Bring your stories. Bring your questions. Let’s keep your board on track for success!

This is an in-person workshop in Springfield, MO.
