Board Bootcamp
The Board Boot Camp program has been designed for both new and experienced board members to learn or refresh their skills on being an effective nonprofit board member. This does not happen by accident, but rather by thoughtful and consistent attention to the role of board members in your organization.
We focus on skills effective board members possess. By structuring the morning into two tracks, we are able to direct the discussion at the appropriate level for each group.
Freshman Track ~ for individuals who have served for less than two years on a nonprofit board and are interested in learning about the more general duties of board members.

What you will learn:
- Gain clarity on procedural issues.
- Learn how to avoid- goal-oriented expressions, inconsistent language and passive tense and ambiguities.
- Determine whether your bylaws appropriately answer "whose organization is this".
- Understand how to produce an effective document.
- Receive "Annotated" Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.
- Take home sample forms that work.
Choosing a Low-Cost Donor Management System
Donors are the lifeblood of your small organization, volunteers the strong backs upon which it is built. You rely on them, and on the partners and other constituents who interact with your nonprofit on a daily basis. Tracking them all involves creating and maintaining a lot of data.
Donors are the lifeblood of your small organization, volunteers the strong backs upon which it is built. You rely on them, and on the partners and other constituents who interact with your nonprofit on a daily basis. Tracking them all involves creating and maintaining a lot of data.
But that data also needs to be accessible. A database is like a First Aid kit—it doesn’t matter what’s in it if you can’t get to it when you need to. For example, if a donor calls, you want to be able to instantly access their donation history, their personal information and any other relevant data. Good luck doing all that with an Excel spreadsheet.
