Most nonprofit organizations have great causes and powerful missions that are being advanced through the efforts of dedicated professionals, board members, donors and volunteers. Everyone has high hopes and dreams for their organization and is very proud to be associated with it.

Yet far too many still struggle to achieve the level of excellence their mission requires.

One of the key responsibilities of every nonprofit CEO is to engage and motivate their board and leadership team to be passionate about serving their mission and achieving their strategic vision.

As the CEO or Board Chair, you may ask yourself the following questions:

• How do I engage and motivate my board to be more passionate about our mission?
• How can I enable my board to gain more self-confidence to more actively participate in our philanthropic initiatives?
• How do I recruit and develop new board members who can assist me in achieving our strategic vision?
• How do I develop my leadership team to learn the new competencies needed to achieve our strategic goals?
• How do I develop an organizational wide leadership succession plan to develop the future leaders of our organization?

This online course provides your board with a one-year license to provide board orientation, ongoing board governance educational tools and answers to the many challenges your board might need to address.

You can register up to 25 individuals who can take the course from their office, home or mobile app. Each member will also receive a course handbook and an individualized certificate of completion. In addition, the purchase of each course includes 60 minutes of FREE virtual consultation with Dennis to discuss any issues or answer any questions. Each of the 8 modules presents questions for your board to discuss as a group throughout the year at each of your board meetings.

Completing this course will enable your board members to feel a greater sense of self-confidence and will find their service on your board more enjoyable and meaningful. Your board will mature and learn how to transition beyond the traditional roles of fiduciary, business and strategic advisors to be one of being in a “true partnership with the CEO” providing leadership in helping your organization achieve your strategic vision and goals. The ultimate beneficiaries will be those you serve in your community, whether global, national or local
