The Board Member’s Guide to Good Governance Workshop Series: Nonprofit Board 101 (Basic Board Member Duties)
July 9, 2026 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM
(EDT)
Description
This event is offered by our partner in another state. Please double-check times and time zones prior to registering.
We start our series with an overview of nonprofits, the nonprofit sector in Minnesota, and a basic overview of the duties and responsibilities that board members have as volunteer external leaders of nonprofit organizations. We will focus primarily on basic board information and the fiduciary duties that board members have (we’ll also define that word fiduciary!), and talk about what board members should and should not be doing. Many new board members never get basic training when they begin their board service – this will set some groundwork for board service and will also provide content you may never have gotten even if you’re a nonprofit board veteran.
Learning outcomes
Participants will:
Learn about the nonprofit sector in Minnesota
Understand what a nonprofit is and how nonprofits are managed and governed
Learn about general board member responsibilities as well as the three higher-level fiduciary duties of board members
Learn the difference between governance and management in nonprofits and who should be doing what
