Friday is deadline to register for Nonprofit Board Training


Because of the increased scrutiny on tax-exempt organizations today, it’s more important than ever that those who work with non-profit organizations understand the importance of serving on the board of a non-profit. On Tuesday, October 28, The Chamber is joining forces with the Fayette Chamber of Commerce and the Coweta Community Foundation to host a Nonprofit Board Training at the Newnan Centre.

Friday, October 24, is the last day to register for the workshop, which is designed for anyone who serves on a board, works with boards, or works with a nonprofit organization. This event will be held at the Newnan Centre, 1515 Lower Fayetteville Rd., Newnan. Registration begins at 8 a.m. with the session running from 8:30 a.m. to noon. Topics covered will include the Importance of Nonprofits; Good Governance and Board Roles; Setting Strategic Direction; Committee Dynamics; and Risk Management. Those attending will learn the importance of serving on a board, understanding duties and developing high performance leadership that can advance the mission and goals of the organization. This workshop is perfect for nonprofit staff members and volunteer leaders seeking to learn about developing strategic direction, roles and responsibilities of the Directors (fiduciary, mission, finances) and the increased scrutiny on Exempt Organizations.

Leading the Board Training will be Robert C. Harris, CAE, a nationally acclaimed speaker and expert on boards of directors and association management. Believing that nonprofits should be as efficient as any commercial business, Harris has studied thousands of them, authored books on association management, and traveled the world to help organizations in countries like Japan and Ukraine. Having received multiple awards throughout his career and dubbed the "Martha Stewart of association management," Harris is actively promoting the impact of nonprofits in America and sharing his tips for success.

Registration fee for the Board Training is $15 per person or a flat fee of $225 per group for nonprofits. Deadline to register is Friday, October 24, 2014.
