The Fiduciary and the Duties
of a Board

Board members of nonprofit organizations are responsible for the financial viability and success of the organization. This fiduciary responsibility requires board members to
understand issues relating to financial integrity in order to protect the organizations value. In this workshop, we will define what those responsibilities are and how to ensure
they are met.

focuses on defining roles and building a powerful partnership. We’ll cover the importance of these roles in establishing a “macrogovernance™” rather than a
micromanagement board strategy.
