In this hands-on, interactive, “get-it-done” experience, Board Development Committee Chairs, Executive Directors, and anyone responsible for Board orientation will review the orientation process and “scrapbook” a draft orientation and reference manual. Building an effective Board begins with each individual Director possessing the tools needed to govern: knowledge of Board and staff roles and responsibilities, as well as the organization’s policies, history, culture, programs and finances. A thoughtful orientation process, with an up-to-date and complete orientation manual, is essential for training and empowering a strong Board of Directors. Participants should bring: Current orientation materials Copies of all critical corporate documents Instructor: B.
