Engaging Governance Volunteers through Strategic Planning

Organizations struggling to engage and effectively manage governance volunteers often find that bringing them together to focus on planning and strategy helps get them moving in the right direction. If your Board is disengaged or they do not know what they should be doing, the workshop will show you how to empower your board and enhance your impact.

Attendees will learn:

  • Ways to engage volunteers in planning
  • How to shift volunteers from ineffective to focused and engaged
  • Development of strategies that give volunteers meaningful work and advance the cause of the organization
