SUMMARY:Board Development: Bored to Brilliant – Better Meetings
DESCRIPTION:According to a recent Avast survey\, the US professional spends an average of 61 hours per month in meetings and considers more than 50% of them to have been a waste of time (that’s 15 wasted days per year.) There are a number of simple and easily implemented tactics your organization can employ so that your board will consider yours among the BEST meetings they participate in.\nIn this workshop we will examine the conditions that work against effective board meetings. We will provide practical tools that you and your colleagues can put to use immediately. We will help you get you from “having a quorum” to hosting dynamic and effective meetings.\nThis workshop is designed for organizational senior leadership and those responsible for the coordination of meetings and events \n$150 – 1 person $100 – 2 people* With 2 people attending\, it breaks down to $50 per person. $75 – 3-5 people* (must include one board member) With 5 people attending\, that breaks down to just $15 per person! *Additional individuals must be from the same organization! We recommend executive leadership\, development and program staff and board members attend. YES\, you read that right. Three to five people from your organization would only cost your agency $75 to attend a half day workshop!!!
