But we hear a different story from board members all the time: - “I wasn’t clear on what was expected of me.” - “It took months to feel useful.” - “We’re missing opportunities to tap into people’s skills and networks.” Poor onboarding doesn’t just slow people down — it leads to disengagement, frustration, and missed impact. That’s why we’re hosting this live, peer-driven conversation to surface what actually works. 👥 Who This Session Is For This session is especially valuable if you are: - A current nonprofit board member - A board chair, officer, or governance committee member - Involved in recruiting or onboarding new board members - Looking to improve board engagement and effectiveness early on Whether you joined a board recently or you’ve been onboarding others for years, you’ll leave with ideas you can use immediately. 🎯 What You’ll Learn By the end of the session, you’ll: - Identify 2–3 onboarding practices that help new board members get confident and engaged faster - Recognize common onboarding gaps that unintentionally hold people back - Gain peer-tested ideas you can adapt to your own board — without adding complexity or extra work 🧭 How the Session Will Work This is not a webinar and not a presentation. This is a peer-led conversation designed to help board members learn from one another and leave with ideas they can actually use.
