Your Community Foundation is pleased to offer professional development opportunities for local nonprofit staff and board members. Through these offerings, we seek to enhance the skills necessary for a strong nonprofit sector.
From Governance to Greatness
Are you interested in energizing and inspiring your Board? If so, then please plan to join us for our 2024 full-day fall conference that will energize nonprofit board members and staff alike.
Tuesday, September 10th
8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Location: Plecker Center, Blue Ridge Community College, Weyers Cave, Virginia
If you are interested in board governance but desire a little primer before the conference, then please plan to join us for our upcoming Nonprofit Coffee Talk, during which our speaker will discuss the topic: “Better Boards: Recruiting to Give and Get.” The Coffee Talk will take place on Wednesday, August 28th, 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., at the Staunton Augusta Art Center, 20 S. New Street, in Staunton.
Participants will explore what they hope to give and get from potential board members. You are encouraged to bring a copy of your recent board applications, interview questions, etc. to compare, share and engage about what and how you are doing in real time.
Enjoy coffee and light breakfast treats while discussing:
- Why do people join a board?
- Culture Fit & Culture Add
- Questions Candidates Might Ask of a Board Nominating Committee
- Questions Boards Might Ask of Candidates
- Nonprofit Lifecycles
The Coffee Talk discussion will be facilitated by George Neighbors, Principal, Consultant and Coach, at X-Roads Advisory.
Enjoy the opportunity to network and catch up on the latest news from your friends in the nonprofit community.
Registration is free of charge and will be limited to a small group in order to provide an ideal setting for connecting with your nonprofit colleagues.
Are you a Nonprofit Executive Director looking to engage with your peers for personal and professional development? Join our Executive Directors’ Discussion Group (EDDG), which will address topics of interest to your organization and provide a confidential setting in which you and your peers can discuss and solve real-time problems with real-world experience.
Focused topics for each meeting are provided, but broader conversations will be welcomed as well during each meeting of the EDDG. While these discussion groups are not led by content experts, they are facilitated by Brian Ullman, Senior Manager of Learning and Impact at the Center for Nonprofit Excellence.
The next EDDG meeting will be virtual and is scheduled for August 21, 2024, 9:00 AM – 10:30 AM.
Registration is free and open to Nonprofit Executive Directors of organizations serving residents of Staunton, Waynesboro, and the counties of Augusta, Highland, and Nelson (or if your organization does not have an Executive Director, your Board Chair is invited to participate).
If you have any questions, please contact Lora Hamp at lhamp@cfcbr.org.
