Board Committees: Engaging the Board in Challenging Times

Leaders of nonprofits often need support and guidance from Board members when they are faced with operational, budgetary, or other challenges. Committees are an effective tool to engage the Board and channel Board talent and support. To use committees wisely, managers and directors should understand the requirements for (and limitations on) committees under the New York Not-for-Profit Corporation Law. This webinar will cover how to form and manage committees and will offer strategies on how to use committees to support management and encourage Board engagement while complying with best practices.

Learning Objectives: Participants will learn tips on how to use committees strategically; restrictions on committee actions; the difference between Board committees and committees of the corporation; how to form a committee; committee charter basics; and audit and finance committee distinctions.

For Board members, executive directors, and managers of nonprofits.
