Does your board reflect the community you serve?

Research from BoardSource shows that only 38% of nonprofit boards do.

Applications are due this Monday, August 31, for our new Evolve Board Fellowship.

This 12-week program provides comprehensive board governance training and mentorship to local professionals interested in serving on a board AND matches them with a Tampa Bay nonprofit.

If you know a talented professional who belongs on a board, or you’d like to welcome more board members who reflect your constituency to your board, learn more and apply at the link in the comments.

Today is the day! Join us at 2 p.m. Eastern (8/26) to learn a smarter approach to major gift fundraising. More than half of nonprofits lack a major gift strategy, often due to silos across departments. This afternoon, we’ll show you how the most effective organizations collaborate across teams to improve donor relationships and revenue.

There’s still time to register for free! Get your login details at the link in the comments.

When you have a perception of what learning looks like, and then you actually experience it 😉.

This is what learning looks like at the Nonprofit Leadership Center. No talking heads. No boring presentations. Just a room full of diverse nonprofit leaders from across the sector connecting, practicing real-world scenarios, problem-solving, and building new skills together.

No better way to end a week!

A big thanks to expert Ellen Nastir from Innovative Team Solutions and to our sold-out room of nonprofit leaders who joined us to learn more about their leadership styles and how to interact with others with different styles and needs.

We still have two more nonprofit training classes this month and an incredible September lineup. See the full schedule at the link in the comments!
