Practical Considerations for Non-Profit Board Members- 2 CPE

Speaker: Brenda Blunt

One of the best ways to give back to the community, as well as expand your personal and professional network, is to serve on the board of a not-for-profit organization whose mission care about.  The sad truth is there is a chronic shortage of knowledgeable, engaged people willing to provide guidance and governance to the thousands of not-for-profit organizations who are the binding of our community.  Of those who do serve on boards, many are not certain about their role or what questions to ask.  Whether you have years of experience as a not-for-profit board member or are just thinking of moving into that role, Brenda Blunt will be leveraging her 25 years of experience working with not-for-profit organizations in the Valley and across the country to bring you some practical things you should know about serving on a not-for-profit board.

Location:  Arizona Country Club 5668 E. Orange Blossom Lane Phoenix, AZ 85018

5:00 PM Networking
5:30 PM Technical Presentation – 1 CPE
