| Register for January 20th ABLE Event - Committee Service: Advancing the Mission Between Board Meetings |
 Committee Service: Advancing the Mission Between Board Meetings All nonprofit governing boards have substantially more work to do than can ever be accomplished at monthly or quarterly meetings. Many boards try to solve the problem by creating committees to work on issues between meetings. But even with the best intentions, boards sometimes don’t build their committee structures properly, creating even more work for board and staff.
BoardSource Senior Governance Consultant, David Styers, will walk through the steps for building a solid committee structure and then leveraging those committees to create a more effective and enjoyable board experience.
