New York, NY, February 01, 2012 --(PR.com)-- A nonprofit organization excels when it has an excellent board, one fully engaged in all aspects of governance:
-leadership
-fundraising
-advocacy
-financial oversight
-policy-making
-strategic planning
In Ventureneer’s free webinar, Unlocking Your Nonprofit Board’s Full Potential, executive directors and board members -- especially board chairs -- will learn how to build a strong, effective board through recruitment, improved communication, and better understanding of what the board’s job is.
“Being a board member isn’t an honorary post. It’s a job that requires commitment. This webinar shows how to build a strong board, with that commitment,” says Geri Stengel, founder of Ventureneer.
The free online seminar will be held Monday, February 13, 2012, 12n-1pm ET and presented by Dennis Miller, president and CEO of Dennis C. Miller Associates Inc., which specializes in strategic planning, organizational assessment, board and leadership development, CEO and board chair coaching, among other advisory services.

-warm-body theory of board recruitment
-lack of a formal re-appointment process
-difficult board members
-inability to select a board chair
-poorly run meetings
-poor communication from CEO or board chair to other members of the board
-nonalignment of organizational vision/goals with committees, -- strategies and leadership expectations
-board reluctance or refusal to raise money
The webinar will cover the fiduciary, strategic, and leadership roles of the board and how to remove obstacles to full board engagement in all these areas. Miller will discuss the assessment tools available to determine the strengths and weaknesses of a board, and and how to make improvements.
