Event Description:
Don't Just SIT there, Serve!
Topic: Serving not Sitting: A Conversation on Nonprofit Board Service
Speaker: Dr. Margo Bailey, Brighter Strategies

Are you interested in serving on a nonprofit Board of Directors? Have you been asked to serve on a board, but you would like to learn more before committing? Are you looking for new Board Members for your organization? If you answered yes to any of those questions, this session is for you. This forum, hosted by the Chamber’s Community Action Committee, will help equip you with what questions to ask when you're asked to serve, and how to make the most of your board service. The Community Action Committee will have some opportunities available to discuss with attendees.
