Board leadership is hard work! 

BoardTalks – Peer Learning Groups™ are a unique learning opportunity offered to board members from all types and sizes of nonprofit organizations who meet in a confidential and collegial setting to discuss “board best practices” and to solve current organizational problems. The four 2.5 hour monthly meetings allow time for participants to acquire and practice new skills in order to be the best possible board members. The sessions are fun, spirited and practical.

Facilitated by Deidre McCormack Martin, a long time TableTalks™ Facilitator and collaborator with Janet Boguch, founder of TableTalks™ and BoardTalks™, Deidre is a seasoned community and nonprofit leader.

*New Format!

BoardTalks – Peer Learning Group™ will now be structured like the other peer learning groups and participants should have at least one year of board experience. BoardTalks™ focuses on challenging board issues and problem solving  around current issues facing board members and their organizations. Participants will support each other towards their learning objectives and goals. Each session will also include discussion on a topic or article relevant to non-profit boards and their board members. Participants will walk away with resources, new tools, skills and feel more successful in their roles. 

BoardTalks™ Basics is a training session ideal for those newer to board service (0-2 years) who would like to increase their effectiveness as board members. Topics will include board member responsibilities, fiduciary role, board governance principles, fundraising and more. One three-hour session will cover all you need to know to be a highly effective board member and increase your impact on your organization. 

Enrollment is limited to 12.  Two board members from each organization can register.

Resource materials are provided to help build the board members’ tool boxes.

Sessions are currently held online.
