Workshop leader Rebecca Kirby of Metamorphosis Change Agents, an expert in increasing the effectiveness of grassroots nonprofit groups, will reveal tactics that can make boards—and organizations—more successful.

“Volunteering for community boards can be one of the most rewarding experiences in a person’s life. At the same time, the complexities of board expectations along with simply getting the work done can be daunting for those volunteering for even those most highly organized and successful organizations,” says Kirby.

Topics covered in the workshop include developing dynamic boards, defining board responsibilities, and dealing with difficult personalities. Scenarios from actual boards provide examples of effective management.

Cost of the Board Management Workshop is $10 per person. Although the workshop is part of the Preserving Historic Places Conference, held April 17-20 in Columbus, people may register for the workshop only at bit.ly/PHPColumbus2018 or by calling 317-639-4534.
