The training series is ideal for nonprofit leadership and new/existing board members. 

The series will be a combination of two in-person and one online class. Topics will include the board’s role in financial oversight, maintaining a strategic focus on your board, building a solid governance foundation, recruiting high-powered board members, fundamentals of fundraising, and the board’s role in advocating for resources. The series is a great way to start getting your nonprofit ready for Rural Philanthropy Days.

Classes will be held in Cortez, Durango and Pagosa Springs. The three sessions will take place the week of March 27, week of April 3 and week of April 10. The cost is $60 for the entire series, includes registration for one staff and one board member from each organization.
