Board Connections

 

Put your Leadership to the Test…Become a Board Member

HandsOn Central California, formerly the Volunteer Center of Fresno County, has served as the non-profit leader in connecting volunteers with opportunities to serve in their local community for 46 years.  In a post Enron world, an effectively recruited and trained Board of Directors is essential to the success of any nonprofit organization. As volunteers, members of nonprofit boards need quality training and assistance in selecting the best board opportunity to meet their interest in volunteering. 

• Board 101 - This workshop covers the fundamentals of successful nonprofit board membership. It is designed for volunteers who are interested in joining a board for the first time and for board members wishing to increase their skills and knowledge of nonprofit governance. Participants in Board 101 will gain practical knowledge about key aspects of effective board membership, including governance, legal and financial duties. Additional topics include overview of why nonprofits are governed by boards of directors, staff versus board roles, and what to ask before joining a board.
