Recruiting and Retaining Effective Board Members

Facilitated by Laura Otten Ph.D.

It’s an ongoing challenge to find qualified Board members who bring the appropriate skills, temperament, expectations, and passion to the organization they serve. Once you have strong board members, how do you keep them motivated and content? This full-day workshop will provide practical tools to help design a culture of board assessment and development that fuels healthy organizations. Participants will learn how to monitor and build their boards’ profiles in terms of skill, experience, expertise, and demographics; explore strategies to recruit new board candidates; develop effective board member orientation; manage officer and committee chair succession and board performance appraisals; and run productive meetings.

Breakfast and lunch are provided at these workshops, which are held in locations which are ADA accessible. If you have any dietary restrictions or any other questions, please contact our Technical Assistance Manager, Judy Ha Kim, at jkim@grdodge.org or at 973-695-1171.
