Board Governance

Take your board from good to great with Montana Nonprofit Association’s board clinic series. A few best practices separate high performing boards from the just okay boards.

Participants of the first in-person Nonprofit Management Institute Master Class share insights on their experience and the learning opportunity.

Powerhouse boards bring energy to their work. They make good decisions on behalf of their mission. They are nimble, influential, effective, and connected. You may have seen such a board in your community—maybe you serve on one. If so, you know the joy when a group of people comes together and makes a difference.

Gain invaluable insights into crafting a case for capacity that merges strategic prowess with impactful storytelling.

Do you have a board that is tired, non-functional, and/or members have been around too long to be effective? If so, how do you revamp and re-energize it? This workshop will go through a series of different considerations and approaches to bring life back to your board.

Increase your board members’ financial literacy to fulfill their fiduciary responsibility to your organization.

Our traditional nonprofit model -- the 501(c)(3) organization -- is a legacy structure dating back many decades. Does it still work in today's world? If not, what are the alternatives? Join us for a provocative, interactive session where we consider a broad range of options: everything from modest tweaks to board composition to entirely different governance models and legal structures.

Developed from ongoing nonprofit management research and the Center’s guide, Principles & Practices: Best Practices for North Carolina Nonprofits, this 6-session series facilitates learning, discussion, and fundamental management strategies around board governance, program design and evaluation, strategic planning, fundraising, financial management, and human resources.

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.
