Building the Board Your School Community Needs
Almost everything you think you know about Boards is wrong and it's holding your school back. Join us to reimagine how you recruit a Board that reflects your community and align staff and Board efforts to advance your mission. Participants will: 1) challenge assumptions about Boards; 2) explore how to build a Board that reflects your community; 3) create better alignment between your mission and the Board; 4) develop an action plan to transform your board into exactly what you need and want.
