Wallowa County Nonprofit Business Series

Cause Oregon, in partnership with Northeast Oregon Economic Development District, is offering a comprehensive series of seminars this spring to sharpen the skills of nonprofit boards and staff. Whether you're new to the sector or a seasoned professional, the series will provide practical tools for your work.

Classes are stand-alone modules and also build a nonprofit toolkit sequentially. Participants can attend any number of sessions at $35 each, or register for all ten at a discounted rate of $295. Seating is limited; pre-registration is required. Fees are not refundable but can be credited for future sessions. 

This week's session is on Board & Staff Roles. The relationship between Board and Staff sets the stage for a nonprofit's success. Making your way towards meeting your mission requires this relationship is a healthy one...where clear lines of authority, accountability and process keep respective roles distinct - but complementary and supportive. In this session, we'll review the roles and responsibilities of both Board Members and Staff, elements of a high-functioning Board-Staff partnership, and the special link between Board Chair and ED.
