Board Governance
Non-profits and charities play an important role in our society, providing a wide range of services in different areas including health care, education and social services. These organizations are governed by volunteer boards of directors.
To accomplish goals and achieve their mission, non-profits and charities require a robust system of governance and an effective board. A strong board of directors has a greater likelihood of success than a poorly governed organization.
Our board governance training is designed specifically for not-for-profit board members, managers and staff who want to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of their organization.

Roles & Responsibilities of a Non-Profit Board
Board members of an incorporated, non-profit organization are legally responsible for its governance. They are expected to develop, implement, and monitor policies that allow the organization to carry out its mission. While a board may appoint staff and committees to carry out the work related to policies, programs and services, the board is ultimately responsible for meeting outcomes.
In this workshop, participants will learn best practices of board governance, legal duties and responsibilities of board directors, and risk management to ensure the organization has the right resources to advance its mission.
Topics covered include:
- Key roles and responsibilities of the board, members, and committees
- Common board governance structures
- Legislation, liability, and risk
This course is currently being offered in a distance learning format and includes a comprehensive manual. For the best experience, we recommend board members take the course together to work through guiding questions for self-reflection and board discussion. Registration is ongoing throughout the year.
