A special presentation by Marc Smiley

Building Board Leadership: A Special Presentation by Marc Smiley. What happens when two great organizations like Decisions Decisions and the Nonprofit Association of Oregon (formerly TACS) collaborate? A whole lot actually. Beginning this October, D2’s Marc Smiley and others within our firm will be sharing our breadth and depth of knowledge about building effective organizations through a series of five lectures offered through the Nonprofit Association of Oregon (NAO). Marc has already completed the first two, but there is still time to sign up for the next lecture on November 3rd when he will present on “Building Board Leadership.” Not sure whether you should sign up? Click here to see a full description of the lecture and here to download a copy of the training packet from the first session entitled “Board Orientation: What You Need to Know to Serve on a Nonprofit Board.” Not located in Portland? No problem – in addition to Portland, the lecture series will take us to Salem and Bend over the next 6 months.  As many of you in the nonprofit field know, building an effective board is critical to creating a sustainable organization – this is a great opportunity to come and learn more about how to draw out the leaders on your board. We hope to see you soon in a city near you!
