SUMMARY:The Nonprofit Board's Role in Benefits Planning
DESCRIPTION:Determining employee benefits is not an easy task. They have a great deal of influence on the organization’s ability to sustain itself and fulfill its mission. Moreover\, employee benefits are an important part of the character of our organizations – are we an organization that offers scant benefits so we can maximize the dollars invested in our programs? Do we offer generous benefits in some areas\, but save in others? What does that say about how we accomplish our mission? \nJoin this discussion about the role nonprofit boards play in enticing new hires and maintaining current employee satisfaction through the process of selecting employee benefits. \nThis free event is made possible with support from CS Plus. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Maximizing the Effectiveness and Efficiency of Your Committees

You will also learn about the importance of defining and communicating the roles of board and staff members in different types of committees. \nClick here to register for this free event. \nThis educational session is geared toward board members in the Hudson Valley and is sponsored by the Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley\, the Community Foundation of Orange & Sullivan\, the Dyson Foundation and the Hudson Valley Regional Advisory Council.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Recruiting and Onboarding for Diversity and Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:This educational session is geared toward board members in the Hudson Valley and is sponsored by the Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley\, the Community Foundation of Orange & Sullivan\, the Dyson Foundation and the Hudson Valley Regional Advisory Council. \nA diverse nonprofit board includes people of all genders\, races\, ages\, sexual orientations\, cultural backgrounds and levels of ability. \nDiversity ensures consideration of a variety of perspectives and ultimately helps the board make more informed decisions. But diversifying your board comes with challenges – how do you find new board members outside of your immediate circle? How do you ensure your board will embrace and respect a wider range of opinions and perspectives? Preparing for and embracing a diversified board requires commitment\, planning\, and humility. \nIn this session\, we will discuss how to identify\, attract\, and retain diverse volunteers for your board. We will also talk with a nonprofit leader who has successfully used our BoardStrong platform to grow and diversify the board of their organization. \nClick here to register for this free event.
