OnBoard is a programmatic resource designed to support the health and viability of our community's nonprofit leadership--the Board.
Hosted by UWPV, OnBoard has expanded its offerings with a series of instructional webinars, networking opportunities, and community engagement activities to prepare anyone for Board service. We invite anyone interested in serving on a Board, or just interested in learning about the integral role of the Board, to start your journey with OnBoard.
Attend the Board Basics Series
Board Basics is an ongoing learning series for anyone interested in board readiness. Through a conversational-style of presentations by highly experienced nonprofit mentors in Western Mass, attendees will have the opportunity to learn, ask questions, network, and receive resources and tools to help them determine if board-level volunteerism is a good fit.
Register for our upcoming Board Basics Workshops! These will focus on:
- Governance – Understanding board roles and responsibilities
- Recruitment & Retention – Strategies for building an engaged board
- Strategic Planning – Aligning board efforts with long-term organizational success
