Description
This event is offered by our partner in another state. Please double-check times and time zones prior to registering.
Nonprofit leaders state that financial oversight is one of the most important roles of an effective governance board. However, many board members are either unaware of their fiduciary responsibilities or uncomfortable with financial documents and information.
