About this event:
Building a strong board isn’t about filling seats—it’s about bringing the right people in and setting them up to succeed. This practical, plain-language workshop takes you through the full board journey, from recruitment to onboarding and beyond, with a focus on clarity, confidence, and long-term engagement.
Participants will explore how to assess current board composition, define clear roles and expectations, attract and engage prospective members, and conduct thoughtful interviews. The session then shifts to what happens next: creating a welcoming, well-structured onboarding experience that helps new board members feel informed, supported, and ready to contribute from day one.
Using realistic strategies and ready-to-use tools—such as competency matrices, onboarding checklists, orientation agendas, and check-in practices—this workshop helps boards build trust, strengthen culture, and support their leadership team more effectively.
Participants leave with a clear, step-by-step roadmap to recruit well, onboard with intention, and build a board that works well together and helps the organization thrive.
