In response to feedback received at previous summits, a special board edition of the annual Nonprofit Summit took place in 2019.
PATRICK JINKS, keynote speaker and CEO of The Jinks Perspective, led the group of nonprofit CEOs and board members in a discussion about “Governance Through the Lens of Leadership.” Patrick enforced the idea that being a community leader not only means having people following but empowering others to work on their own. Participants were challenged to think differently about their role in the board room, provide tools to strengthen their boards and facilitate strategic conversations about implementation.
Following the Summit, attendees expressed an interest in learning more about the board governance and sharing it with fellow board members. The Nonprofit Summit committee hosted a follow up LUNCH AND LEARN coaching session for board members and CEOs led by Patrick Jinks. Participants attended both in person and streamed the session on Facebook Live. Attendees learned practical tips and tools to keep a board engaged at the right level and aligned with the organization.
