Nonprofit boards of all sorts are famous (or infamous) for dysfunction. These boards also rarely receive training. Is there a connection? We think so. Although board positions are non-compensated, they play a valuable (and legally-mandated) role in the life of a church. Training equips them to succeed. This webinar is for pastors, church administrators, board members and other leaders who would benefit from an understanding of the key roles and responsibilities of church boards.

Like it or not, when the spotlight is on us, we’re representing our congregation, cause or faith tradition to the world. Effective crisis communications don’t just happen. When a controversial situation is handled with confidence and clarity, it’s because a team strategized – well before there was a crisis – about how to respond. While it’s impossible to be fully prepared for every conceivable event, that doesn’t mean we can’t be prepared for anything at all. In addition, the process of planning for crisis communications creates a template that can be used in any circumstance. Join us for this free webinar and equip your organization to respond effectively in a crisis.
