About this event

Center for Nonprofit Stewardship
Does your Board need training? The Center for Nonprofit Stewardship will be releasing an eLearning Course for Board Members this Spring. Come preview the course as well as the upcoming release of their Financial Policies Toolkit.
Whether you are looking for a way to train your existing Board, or for a supplement to your new Board member orientation, the CNS eLearning Course for Board Members is designed to customize your learning in the context of your organization. The course contains seven instructional modules, which include:
- Practical application exercises
- Fun, interactive activities
- Board room vignettes of a fictional board in action
The course instruction is presented by a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), an attorney, and a leading nonprofit consultant.
During this preview event, we will be viewing video samples and exercises from the course, and play a group round of Financial Jeopardy. A sample of the course workbook will also be available for viewing.
You will leave this session with not only information about the course to take back to your Board, but also samples, templates, and 10 Minute Board Exercises to try at your next Board meeting. You will also have access to the course prerequisite video to share with your entire Board on legal rights and responsibilities.
The Center for Nonprofit Stewardship is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that educates and empowers nonprofit Board members in sound financial, administrative, and organizational stewardship.
