Structure, processes, policies, and culture can all contribute to how a nonprofit board operates and its level of effectiveness. This workshop explores parts of all of these with a focus on how to build or shift boards rooted in shared leadership. Through learning, activities and conversations, we will uncover tools, strategies, and roles in evolving nonprofit boards past the typical model. This workshop is designed to support individual board members, nonprofit staff such as Executive Directors, and others committed to new board theories and practices.
We will cover the following:
- Minimally viable board structures and overview of policies
- Shared leadership characteristics that are balanced with shared power and shared responsibility
- Shifting from a culture of shaming and blaming to one of accountability and responsibility
- Identifying power dynamics that are present and cultivating shared power
- Consensus building – what it is and what it isn’t, how to move beyond yes/no votes, and how to pace meetings to allow for consensus and buy-in throughout decision making processes
Held virtually from 11:30 am to 4 pm MT on:

Radiophobia
with Dr. Michael F. Hartshorne
Join us for an intriguing discussion of radiophobia, what is it and how it affects our world.
In recent years, a fear called radiophobia has emerged, causing heightened anxiety around ionizing radiation. Misconceptions about radiation physics and radiobiology have led to a sense of fear among some. Join Dr. Hartshorne as he discusses how this fear has impeded the progress of beneficial technologies such as nuclear power for addressing climate change, nuclear medicine for saving lives, and advancements in nuclear safety. Despite these challenges, is there hope for a more informed and balanced perspective on the benefits and risks associated with radiation-related technologies?
Match Makers is a fundraising event inviting guests to enjoy breakfast, hear inspirational stories, learn about BBBS-CNM mission, “To create and support mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of our local youth.”
