Creative Strategies for Board Recruitment and Retention

We offered this topic in April and we were surprised that we didn’t get any “takers.” But we’re going to give it another try because we just KNOW this information can help you!

Aren’t you ALWAYS on the lookout for new Board members and/or working hard to retain the good ones you have?

Invite your Board’s nominating committee to join you for a great lunch and discussion with your peers around the subject of Board recruitment and retention. What you’ll take away from the workshop:
