GIFT — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 11:35:29 -0700

A GIFT & Blue Avocado Webinar Featuring Jan Masaoka: Board recruitment discussions usually start with the tired question, "Who do we know?" Instead, Jan will show you how to start with your organization's "Critical Path" to get to a recruitment and action agenda for the board. You'll learn how to get names of the right people and how to approach them. We'll tackle some difficult questions such as whether and how to recruit people of different races or educational backgrounds, whether to have clients or parents (or other direct beneficiaries) on the board, and whether to have fundraising or donation requirements. We'll also go over some practical pieces such as what questions to ask possible recruits, accelerating the recruitment/approval process, and how to reject candidates.
