are available! As part of an ongoing partnership, the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits is partnering with MAP for Nonprofits to offer MAP's long-running training "Board Boot Camp" via Webinar. Discover the basics of board governance. What is good governance? What is the difference between governance and management of a nonprofit? The board of directors is the entity that is legally responsible for the conduct and performance of the nonprofit organization. In this workshop participants who have never served on a board or who have never had any formal training on board governance will learn the basic board responsibilities. What does it take to be an effective board member? What’s involved in creating an effective board? MAP’s approach to board development is based on best practices that are common to the most dynamic and effective nonprofit boards. The approach derives from the work of BoardSource, the Independent Sector, and the Carver Policy Governance model, among other sources of practice and research, as well as MAP’s experience working with hundreds of nonprofit boards each year. The session will cover: The
