Gulf Coast Board Institute

No Charge | Pre-Registration Required

New this season, Friends of Boca Grande has partnered with the Gulf Coast Community Foundation to offer an educational program for nonprofit board members.  This training applies to any nonprofit you may be working with, on or off the island.

Effective nonprofit board leadership and governance is required in order to become a high performing organization.  Without involved, educated, and passionate board members, nonprofits struggle to reach their full potential.  The newly-launched Gulf Coast Board Institute will provide you with the information and materials you need (as a new or experienced board member) to make the most valuable contributions to the organizations in which you invest so much of your time.

Topics covered will include legal duties; responsibilities of nonprofit boards; best governance practices; effective fundraising strategies for board members; and more.

Training is provided by consultants from Invest in Incredible (www.gulfcoastcf.org/news/agenda/invest-in-incredible-2/), Gulf Coast Community Foundation’s initiative to help nonprofit organizations strengthen their operational effectiveness and management so they can better meet their mission. 

Light breakfast and lunch is included.  There is no cost for this workshop, however you must preregister to assure your spot.  If there is interest, additional workshops may be arranged.
