Ready to elevate your nonprofit board — and your role within it? Join us for an empowering session led by author and board-governance specialist Erik Hanberg. This is your chance to move from “just another meeting” to meaningful impact as a board member.

In this interactive workshop, you’ll learn how to:
  • Understand the critical responsibilities and influence of a nonprofit board — why good governance matters for mission, reputation, and sustainability
  • Build and contribute to a strong board team: recruitment, roles, accountability, culture, and strategic oversight
  • Clarify the difference between being on a board and being in the boardroom: how individuals can show up prepared, proactive, and attuned to the mission
  • Explore real-world pitfalls, success stories, and actionable checklists to help your board transition from “bored” to genuinely engaged leadership
As part of this event you’ll receive a copy of each of Erik Hanberg’s three books on nonprofit leadership and governance — powerful tools to continue your board-transformation journey.

About the Facilitator
Erik Hanberg has spent more than 15 years working in the nonprofit sector in roles spanning fundraising, marketing, board service and staff leadership. He is the author of books tailored for nonprofit boards, including The Little Book of Boards: A Board Member’s Handbook for Small and Very Small Non-profits.  In addition to his writing and consulting work, he has served on elected public boards — including as a commissioner for Metro Parks Tacoma — giving him practical, boots-on-the-ground insight into board leadership. 

Who should attend?
Current or incoming board members who want to deepen their understanding and effectiveness
Non-profit staff or executive directors seeking strategies to strengthen their board
Individuals curious about serving on a nonprofit board and wanting to step in prepared
Turn your board meetings into purposeful leadership forums — join us and be the board member your organization needs
