Fiduciary Duties, Responsibilities, Ethics & Liabilities of Nonprofit Board Members

You have been appointed to serve on a nonprofit board of directors. You are thrilled to contribute your time and energy to a worthy cause, but you are not confident about what board service entails. What does it mean to be a director? How do I make sure I am meeting my “fiduciary responsibilities”? Are there legal liabilities? How am I supposed to act at board meetings? How do I add value and make sure my service is not merely a “feel-good” appointment?

This new program provides an overview of the roles and responsibilities of a nonprofit director, ranging from the legal responsibilities and ethical concerns to practical guidance as to how every director-regardless of their experience level-can participate and contribute during board meetings and help elevate the culture and performance of the board-and entire organization.
