Southern Vermont: Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation (BDCC)’s Southern Vermont Economy Project is providing regional workshops for local nonprofit organizations interested in guiding their board’s ongoing development to strengthen operations.
Participants will meet over two sessions to discuss established nonprofit board development best practices, then develop an action plan to help their organization ‘build a better board!’ Throughout, they will engage in small group discussions with peers to exchange ideas about what makes boards work most effectively.
