Training for Businesses / Corporations

Our Business on Board training is customized for businesses that promote corporate citizenship. Through participation in BOB, businesses invest in core leadership skills and expand on professional development opportunities for their employees.

Business on Board sessions can be presented in a one-day or multiple-day format. The program focuses on primary aspects of board stewardship including:

• Philanthropy- its history and future
• Board governance and dynamics
• Legal and fiduciary responsibilities
• Fund raising and development strategies
• Marketing and promotion the organization
• Strategic planning for long-term growth and stability.

Our speakers are experts in their fields and deliver engaging, interesting sessions whether you are new to board service or a seasoned board member. Those participants who attend the program and are currently serving on a board find the sessions elevate their knowledge. For those who are ready to begin board service, we work with you to help place you on a board of directors based on your interests and skills.
