Nonprofit Training

May 28 | 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM | Main Campus in Stillwater | $15
Registration includes breakfast.

Nonprofit management is inherently collaborative, as executives must work hand-in-hand with the board chair to provide the comprehensive leadership a nonprofit requires – for both management and governance of the organization. Each person in this “partnership” was chosen for their unique skills and leadership abilities, and they can accomplish great things working together. However, many things can stand in the way of a good partnership – from differences in communication style to unnamed or unmet expectations.

This session, facilitated by staff from the Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits, provides executives and board chairs an exclusive opportunity to set the framework for their partnership and clarify how to support one another. Whether a new or established leadership team, this seminar provides practical guidance for navigating your own unique partnership. Even seasoned executives and strong board leaders will benefit from exploring communication styles and goals as the relationship and organization evolve.

What You Will Learn:

Board chairs and executive directors can expect to:

• Receive practical tools that will ensure their partnership is set up to best serve their organization.
• Understand industry trends of their unique role in the partnership
• Strategize solutions for challenges typical to the executive director – board chair relationship
• Identify communication gaps and build more effective channels to achieve success
• Benefit from micro-consulting opportunities with peers and instructors
