Governance Certificate (In-Person)

Course Description

With over 1.5 million not-for-profit organizations in the United States, and approximately 20 million board members (continuously rotating), it is highly possible you will be asked to serve on the board of directors of a nonprofit organization at some point in your lifetime. Get the foundational understanding you need so you know what is expected of you and how to be effective. Serving on a board is your contribution to the community so get equipped! If you have never served on a nonprofit board or if you have served on a nonprofit board, this class is for you.

This experiential, innovative, and fun class is like nothing you have attended before. With the game simulation, breakout session activities, Q&A discussions, and participant materials, you will learn new things, synthesize existing knowledge with action, build a new peer network, and have FUN in the process.
