Creating the Right Constellation of Board Roles & Responsibilities: An Overview of Mickey's 3 + ONE Series
Tuesday September 28th
2-3pm ET/11am-Noon PT

What's my job description? What does fiduciary responsibility really mean? Where on earth did so many roles and responsibilities come from? You have questions, we have answers. Join Mickey for this comprehensive session that guides you through understanding what you need to know about being a star board member in your organization's constellation. Build your confidence and skills to meet your goals!

  • Why Boards Exist — It's a charming story (some might say a costume drama).
  • What the Law Says — Your three duties... the ones you have to do, scouts honor.
  • 3 + 1 Starring Roles and Responsibilities — What in the "heck" the world wants from you.
  • Critical Condition or Constituent Compliant (that's a lot of "c"s) — What kind of organization you are leading, different stages of development mean different leadership (people love this piece).

The Expanding Star: Resource the Policy You Set
Tuesday, October 26th
2-3pm ET/11am-Noon PT

There is no law that says you have to raise money, but there is a law that says you have to ensure that the money is there to do the work. So, responsibilities include some policy, some oversight and yes, some fundraising... enough to let others know you care.

  • Prevent unfunded mandates
  • Monitor the annual budget
  • Ensure that program fees are set & collected
  • Capitalize fundraising & development
  • Model giving & fundraising for volunteers & donors

Tuesday, November 9th
2-3pm ET/11am-Noon PT

You've reached the milky way and are now looking down on the big blue marble you helped to nurture — it's now time for the next big thing. No, you don't have to be a Board member forever.

Share these with others and ensure continued leadership for the organization by engaging in this role and its responsibilities.

  • Identify potential Board members
  • Recruit Board members
  • Mentor new Board members
  • Participate in Board accountability & evaluation
  • Ensure leadership succession

+ ONE: The Shining Star — Serve as an Ambassador
Tuesday, November 23rd
2-3pm ET/11am-Noon PT

Just in time for holiday social season and year-end fundraising!

So why, you ask... not just make this #4? Well, serving as an ambassador for the organization transcends all the previous three. Without doing this you can't really be a Board star. Being an ambassador means being of the community and in the community. It means thinking about the organization while you go about your daily activities. We'll cover:

  • Showing Up Isn't Enough — You got to achieve one of the other three to succeed, we'll tell you why.
  • Learning to C.A.R.E. — A system that focuses on them (I know, give it your best shot).
  • Working a Room... Host or Guest? — How the pros make it seem effortless... at least 20 tips to being a great ambassador.
