Speaker: Don Chalmers

For over 40 years Don has worked successfully with groups of people in a wide variety of settings; from small “encounter” groups to audiences in the hundreds.  He has served as the Executive Director of a number of nonprofit organizations including a higher education foundation and a health care system foundation and has been a member of several non-profit boards.  As a seasoned consultant, he’s collaboratively worked with scores of Executive Directors and their Pacific Northwest nonprofit boards to help their organizations grow, develop, and flourish.

Board members are essential partners in the success of each nonprofit. They have specific roles and responsibilities that help sustain and grow their organization. Board members are not required to know everything about nonprofit management, but they are expected to act prudently and in the best interests of the organization. Is your board doing this optimally? This workshop will discuss how to cultivate active not passive board members who are truly engaged in advancing your mission. 

Join Don at the 3rd annual Inland Northwest Nonprofit Conference – Programs and Sustainability Series held Thursday, February 7th, 2013, at the Lincoln Center. For more information visit the AE website.
