Championing the Mission: A Practical Playbook for Board and Staff Leadership

Friday, April 17, 2026 (8:30 AM - 12:30 PM) (EDT)

Description

Board members are expected to be effective champions of nonprofit missions - helping to drive fundraising and advocacy.  Too often, they can be left without the practical tools, shared expectations, or the confidence to act.

Nonprofit CEOs, executive directors and board members are invited to join Kentucky Nonprofit Network for an interactive workshop to turn good intentions into meaningful engagement. Championing the Mission: A Practical Playbook for Board and Staff Leadership will guide participants through what it truly means to be a board champion, practice real-world messaging, and strengthen CEO-board alignment to support fundraising and advocacy in authentic, achievable ways.

Team registration and discounts make it easy for CEOs and Executive Directors to bring multiple board members.

Organizations that attend as a team leave with practical strategies, shared language, and a clear action plan to activate board members in fundraising and advocacy. 

*Registration and continental breakfast begin at 8am ET.


BONUS! INCLUDED IN REGISTRATION: Recording - Great Nonprofit Boards (originally $35-$55, yours for free with your Championing Your Mission registration!) You are encouraged to watch prior to the event to learn about core nonprofit governance principles, legal requirements, and recommended practices for effective boards. You will receive a discount code to access this recording for free in your event confirmation email.

Pricing

Registration note: Pricing is based on the number of participants registered at the time of checkout and cannot be changed after the initial registration. If you anticipate adding participants, we recommend registering at the higher team level to lock in the lower per-person rate.
