Board Development can be a scary thing, especially to small nonprofits. How are you going to find the time? Schedule a day when everyone is available? Are you going to be able to take on the added responsibilities that come up as you dive into best practices for running a nonprofit – I mean, seriously, you just want to do some good in this world and not worry about the paperwork and structure of running an organization.

We at urbanASKEW get it. All too often Boards of Directors are exhausted, overworked and, quite simply, frustrated by the time required by their organizations. Most non-profits are community run, volunteer lead organizations with no to little full-time paid staff, meaning that the volunteer board members are the main worker bees, the front line ensuring the organization’s mission and programming come to life. These are the key reasons why organizations need regular board training.

You may be just starting on the journey of Board Development – congratulations! urbanASKEW is here to help you through the process through our online guides, webinars, trainings, and more.

For us, September means a fresh start to our approach. It’s a time of learning and planning and getting down to work. This September, we are going to be kicking off a Board Basics step-by-step series to help YOU in our journey.
