  Join us on June 2nd for a session designed to strengthen your organization’s leadership and fundraising capacity by building a more informed, engaged, and effective board. This program provides practical guidance on board roles, responsibilities, and governance best practices that support strong oversight, strategic partnership, and mission-driven decision-making. Participants will gain tools to clarify expectations, strengthen accountability, improve communication, and foster meaningful board engagement. Designed for nonprofit leaders, the session will be led by Lisa Specter-Dunaway of Specter-Dunaway Consulting, and emphasizes actionable strategies that help boards move beyond compliance to become active ambassadors, advocates, and fundraising partners who advance organizational impact and sustainability. 

  Pending approval for CFRE credit.
