Board Boot Camp

Today I attended the Board Boot Camp sponsored by Management Assistance Program

Topics:


  • The difference between nonprofit and for-profit entities and board service
  • Financial reporting (non-profits should publicly provide an income statement and a balance sheet to their stakeholders)
  • Legal considerations
  • Board member “must do” roles and responsibilities
  • How to be an effective trustee

Comments: Here's a class that every church deacon should attend. (in most Baptist churches, deacons also serve as Trustees). I'm amazed by the paltry financial reporting some non-profits (and churches) provide.
