SUMMARY:The Board’s Role in Benefit Planning for Small Nonprofits
DESCRIPTION:Determining employee benefits is not an easy task. The role they play in enticing new hires and current employee satisfaction is critical to the organization’s ability to sustain itself and fulfill its mission. \nMoreover\, 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? \nPlease join a panel of nonprofit board members who have been through the process of balancing these competing interests by choosing employee benefits. \nModerator: Peter Andrew\, President/CEO\, Council Services Plus \nThis free event is made possible with support from Council Services Plus.

SUMMARY:Board Diversity Includes Disabilities
DESCRIPTION:People with disabilities bring a unique set of life-learned skills and perspectives that help boards make better decisions and have a positive impact on the communities they serve.

Join a panel of nonprofit leaders as they discuss how they successfully meet the challenges of recruiting from this diverse pool of potential board members. \nModerator: Rachel Pardoe\, Senior Program Officer\, The New York Community Trust. \nPanelists: Kathryn Carroll\, Disability and Program Coordinator\, Association on Aging in New York\nSusan Olivio\, Executive Director & CEO\, Lavelle Fund for the Blind\nAriel A.

SUMMARY:Joining a Nonprofit Board
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in volunteering to serve on a nonprofit board but don’t know where to start? Are you serving on a board and could use a refresher? \nHave you been wondering how you can make a difference in your community? Board service is a great way to give back by giving your skills and experience to help a nonprofit that serves a cause or community you care about. It is a position with intrinsic rewards that can also provide opportunities for personal and professional development\, allowing you to develop new skills\, broaden your network and become a leader in your community. \nBecoming a board member is also serious business and carries with it a significant level of responsibility. It is very important that current and prospective board members be aware of the responsibilities and expectations associated with serving on a nonprofit board. \nIn this workshop\, Barbara Paxton\, Director of BoardStrong\, will discuss why you should consider board services and what it means to serve on the Board of Directors of a nonprofit organization. She will also give you advice about what to consider when you are selecting a board\, how to find a board that matches your interests\, and show you how to find the right board using our free\, one-of-a-kind board matching platform.
