What Every Board Member Should Know About Financial Management … And Probably Doesn’t

With the possible exception of “How do I avoid fundraising?,” a board member’s most commonly unasked question is, “What do all these numbers mean – and what am I supposed to do with them?” This workshop is designed to help trustees (plus staff and volunteers) get over their financial phobia — with clarity, humor, and few unexpected metaphors. We’ll discuss: 

• Five things you should know about your nonprofit’s finances — without looking at a spreadsheet
• Creating a one-page financial dashboard to simplify board oversight
• Managing financial risks
• Training board members to be financially literate and engaged

Area of Nonprofit Excellence – Financial Oversight and Resource Development 

Every learning opportunity NAO offers is aligned with one of nine areas of our Principles and Practices for Nonprofit Excellence that NAO believes are critical to every nonprofit’s effectiveness and success. Diversity, equity and inclusion are essential for a thriving, effective and successful nonprofit; therefore, DE&I is embedded across all nine areas. This event focuses on Governance and Resource Development. For additional resources in this category, visit: Financial Oversight and Resource Development.
