Building an Effective ED and Board Chair Partnership

Strengthen the ED/Board Chair partnership and minimize the stress of the board and staff.
About this Event

Building an Effective ED + Board Chair Partnership

It has often been said that a healthy relationship between the board chair and executive director/CEO goes a long way toward building an effective organization. Does this partnership take work? You bet it does, but it’s well worth the effort to help the nonprofit accomplish its mission, as well as to minimize the stress of the board and staff.

We recommend the nonprofit’s executive director and board chair attend this session together to explore their critical relationship and to discuss how they will support each other in leading their organization to success.

There’s a registration discount of $25 if both the Executive Director/CEO and Board Chair register for the workshop together. To receive the discount, select the ED/CEO + Board Chair registration for each attendee for a total of $165 for the two registrations.

This workshop will be in-person at Propel Nonprofit's office in Minneapolis. Propel workshops are not recorded.
