• Making board meetings fun and rewarding
• Dealing with problem board members
• Using five strategic tools to support your board development

Join JVA Consulting’s Janine Vanderburg for a fast-paced session held first thing in the morning so board members can attend. The training will give your board the jump-start it needs to become more energized and effective. This event is FREE to our Non-Profit members.
