“Management knowledge was an area of growth for me. I had managed volunteers before but not employees and financial accountability.”

“I feel that I have become more vocal with our board and increased confidence to effectively request their help.”

“I appreciated every topic, and getting to know some of my fellow nonprofit leaders a little better was invaluable. For me, the growth has been getting to know the community as much as anything.”

“(I developed) more confidence in what I am doing overall. I feel like I not only have the tools for groundwork but to build off of that.”

“I will forever encourage the implementation of the ‘Personal Inventory for Board Members.’ Along with other suggested strategies to work with the board, this was a great way to discover new things about our board members.”
