Board Development Training For Nonprofits

 

About Nonprofit Board Leadership Training

 

Over the years, we’ve seen a similar story with many board members of nonprofits. They have huge passion for the big picture, they know that they want to make an impact, whether that’s in a small community or a huge city. But they often don’t know how this translates in terms of the day-to-day operation. 

 

A board of directors plays an important role in any organization, but there is often a disconnect between the board and the rest of the team. Thanks to our experience and knowledge, we can devise board development training for nonprofits of all shapes and sizes. 

​

If you’re looking for nonprofit board leadership training, allow our systems and resources at Team Kat and Mouse to help. We’ll learn all about your mission and your objectives before then creating a tailored training plan so that the board can become an integral part of a cohesive operation. 
 

Nonprofit Board Leadership Program - How Does It Work?

 

With any nonprofit training we provide at Team Kat and Mouse, it all starts with discovery. Rather than providing one-size-fits-all advice, we’ll start by learning all about your nonprofit in addition to your board, their experience, and their role. The more

we learn about your nonprofit and the whole operation, the better positioned we are to provide tailored training. 

After the discovery stage, we’ll create a training plan that encourages discussion, learning, and the introduction of best practices. As well as working with boards over the years, we’ve also served on them, so we’ve seen both sides and appreciate what it takes to bring the whole team together. We know the nonprofit lifecycle, how the board can add value at each stage, and how to set reasonable expectations for new members. 

Why not reach out to a friendly team member today to learn more? As well as using the contact form on the website, you can also call 561-889-8158. Even if you have a couple of simple questions to start, we’d love to hear from you.
