Building The Board Your Nonprofit Organization Needs

Join governance expert Dottie Schindlinger for a practical, 90-minute working session designed specifically for leaders of community-based nonprofits from across Delaware County. Together, we’ll explore how to build engaged, high-performing boards that can navigate today’s shifting environment and stay focused on mission.

We’ll walk through the full board development cycle, including:

  • Recruitment: clarifying what your board really needs and finding the right people
  • Onboarding: setting expectations, sharing key information, and helping new members contribute quickly
  • Ongoing engagement and evaluation: simple ways to keep board performance on track over time

You’ll also learn time-saving tools and practices—such as consent agendas and executive dashboards—that can streamline your board meetings and create more space for the generative, mission-focused conversations that matter most.

Throughout the session, we’ll connect governance concepts to the real-world challenges small nonprofits face, from limited capacity and changing community needs to economic uncertainty. We’ll close with a curated overview of practical resources—including trusted providers, templates, and platforms—to support your ongoing board development efforts after the workshop ends.
