Serving as a Board President or Chair is one of the most influential—and demanding—leadership roles in a nonprofit. This roundtable offers a confidential, peer-based space for board leaders to connect, share challenges, and learn from one another in a facilitated session.

What to Expect:

Each 60-minute Zoom session includes brief introductions, a quick check-in (good news and/or what’s “keeping you up at night”), and participant-driven discussion around spotlight topics. Confidentiality is a core expectation (what’s shared in the roundtable stays in the roundtable) to encourage candid conversation and mutual support. Participants are asked to display their name and organization and keep their video on.

Zoom link will be sent upon registration, and participation is limited to 12 attendees.
