Running a not-for-profit board? Let’s talk about how to stay true to your purpose while lifting your governance game.
Join us for our first Not-for-Profit Shared Interest Group webinar — an opportunity to explore the unique dynamics of governing in a purpose-driven sector.

Whether you're an experienced not-for-profit director or new to the sector, join us for insights into what makes these boards distinct — and how to govern them well.
