Starting Off Right: Recruiting and Orienting New Board Members
Thursday, August 3 | 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM | Webinar

Presented by: Stephanie Cory, Consultant

Offered in Partnership with: Stephanie Cory

Whether you’re planning for the future by identifying board members years in advance or feeling the pressure of critical vacancies mid-year, this webinar will help you ensure your organization recruits high-impact board members and sets them up for success. By applying elements from BoardSource’s Board-Building Cycle, you will be able to assess your board’s specific needs for new members, identify effective recruitment methods, understand the why’s and how’s of orienting new board members, and discover how to plan for succession. This webinar will guide you through the process of identifying, recruiting, and orienting new board members.

By the end of our time together, you will be able to:

• Describe appropriate roles for the governance committee and CEO in board development
• Apply the Board-Building Cycle to your organization
• List skills and competencies for new board members
• Identify critical elements of a board orientation program
• Explain the importance of a board succession plan

Let’s start off right when it comes to building your board!
