Nonprofit boards have a fiduciary responsibility to the organizations they serve. They need to make short and long-term financial decisions to strategically advance their missions. They also need to ensure internal controls are in place that safeguard their financial operations. Few join boards already with this knowledge. This workshop will help staff and board alike increase their board members’ financial literacy, giving them a better understanding of the proposals and reports they should evaluate.

Learning Objectives:

• Discuss what proposals and reports the board should expect from staff
• How to read those financial proposals and reports
• What questions you should ask about these proposals and reports
