Overview

BoardSource’s governance education program, the Certificate of Nonprofit Board Education, is designed for those who want to understand the major building blocks of an effective nonprofit board.

The four-module, on-demand program covers the fundamental nonprofit governance concepts every nonprofit leader should understand, including board structure and practices, the roles and responsibilities of board members, and financial and legal oversight.

During the course of this certificate program, you will also learn about the identification, recruitment, and orientation of board members; the board-staff partnership; board meetings and the use of committees; the board’s fundraising role; board member motivation, responsibilities, and accountability.

The second edition of our most popular course now features closed captioning, videos, and other elements that make for a more immersive learning experience.
