On Oct. 3, 2013, Cormier Honors College will host Board Link Organizational Solutions of Richmond for the first time the Partnership For Non-Profit Excellence will present their successful program, “Building Blocks Workshop” on a university campus. Board Link Organizational Solutions offers a variety of programs at their home site in Richmond as well as to corporations in the nearby region.
Building Blocks For Nonprofit Board Members is a 35-hour workshop that provides a comprehensive overview of board roles and responsibilities for board members of 501(c)(3) public charities. Since many of our CHC students will serve on boards upon graduation and throughout their careers with commitment to civic engagement, as staff of the CHC, we want each of you to have the opportunity to recognize and understand best practices of board governance.
We ask that junior and senior CHC students fill the available 30 to 40 participant spaces on a first come, first serve basis. Contact CharleneGainesintheCHCoffice to register. There is absolutely no cost to students, and in fact, we will provide a free stretch break snack as well as dinner during the Workshop.
The session is facilitated by experts in nonprofit management and governance who draw on a wealth of professional and personal experience to provide insight into the role of the nonprofit sector in society, how it differs from the public and private sectors, ten primary responsibilities of every board member, and suggestions to help you determine your role on a given board.
Not only is this a phenomenal opportunity to learn about the increasingly emerging world of nonprofits, but also with completion of this free one evening workshop, you will be given an online subscription to a newsletter that provides a customized approach to selecting board positions that address the skills and interests you have to offer. Add this opportunity to your resume!
CHC JUNIORS & SENIORS - SIGN UP SOON!
5:30 on Thursday, Oct. 3 in the Bedford Building Auditorium.
