2025 Nonprofit Credential in Board Governance

June 3, 2025 9:30 AM - June 4, 2025 3:30 PM (MDT)

Description

Being on a board isn’t just about showing up to meetings and nodding along. You know it's about making real moves: shaping policies, refining bylaws, and steering strategies that bring your mission to life. But when your board feels out of sync or unsure of its next steps, progress stalls, and opportunities slip through the cracks. So, here’s the big question: is your board ready to lead with purpose and vision?

The Nonprofit Credential in Board Governance is here to help you turn a good board into a great one. Imagine a boardroom where every member is engaged, aligned, and ready to tackle challenges head-on. This program will help you unlock the tools to craft meaningful policies, refine bylaws that actually work, and build a powerhouse team that operates with clarity, trust, and accountability.

What’s in it for you?

  • A board that’s not just present, but active and impactful
  • Clear, engaging training to make every member a pro at their role
  • Strategies to amplify public trust and elevate your mission’s visibility
  • Transparent fiscal oversight that’s responsible, prudent, and forward-thinking
  • A rock-solid partnership between the board and your Executive Director/CEO

Think of it as your board’s secret weapon—a chance to turn ‘good enough’ into exceptional. Because your mission deserves a leadership team that’s bold, strategic, and ready to lead with heart. Ready to build the board of your dreams?

Upon completion, your organization will earn the Nonprofit Credential Board Governance Badge, a mark of excellence to share with your network and show the world you’re serious about making an impact.

The UNA Credential in Board Governance includes two days of online training, a 1:1 consultation with your team, and ongoing coaching and support.
