Board governance training lays a strong foundation for both new and seasoned board members to serve with purpose and results. Board training helps organizations become laser-focused on their strategic mission and impact in the community. Board members need more than passion and good intentions. They often need guidance and actionable steps to understand their leadership role, partnership with the CEO and their individual responsibilities. Board governance training helps board members identify opportunities to use their individual skills, experience and relationships to advance the organization’s mission.

“Carol Bell’s commitment to our non-profit clinic was seen throughout our Board Governance training session as she guided us through our roles and responsibilities, and led a board discussion on our current strengths and priority goals for the next five years. We are still using the documents, goals, and platforms created during our training and highly recommend her community-minded services to all nonprofit boards. Carol truly is the trainer with a heart for the community she serves.”
