LEARN HOW TO BUILD BETTER BOARDS THROUGH EDUCATION.
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.
What are some of the responsibilities of board members?
• Governance and policies and procedures
• Financial oversight
• Strategic planning and managing performance
• Evaluating and setting compensation
• Setting policies
Board members come from many different walks of life, and few have a background in all of these areas. This webinar is designed to encourage in-depth board training and will identify key topics.
In addition, some church boards are AWOL. What? Every state's corporation laws require a board of directors. Many churches fail to operate with a governing body specifically identified and empowered as such. All too often church bylaws do not mention a board of directors, even if a church has one by another name. Left unaddressed, this can lead to conflict and confusion, so we’ll also cover how to remedy “boardless” churches.
