The Club's Nonprofit Board Network is announcing its eighth board training session on June 2, 2009.  The program will run from 6PM - 9PM. 

Given the economic challenges we face here in SE Michigan, the demand for skilled, qualified board members is especially strong. As so many organizations and individuals struggle to get through these difficult times, giving of one's time and experience through board service can be one of the most meaningful things we do.
 
Additionally, from a career perspective, board service offers the opportunity to gain and showcase skills and leadership, while your personal network expands with new contacts. In the course of demonstrating depth of character and commitment to the community, new possibilities can be revealed.
 
"Boardsmanship Essentials," facilitated by the DESC, covers the roles & responsibilities of nonprofit board service. As part of the program, information will be presented about the approximately 70 area organizations that have approached us seeking our attendees as qualified candidates for their boards. Through this program, attendees can be introduced to contacts at any of those organizations initiating a process to become a candidate for their boards. Assistance in locating contacts and information for other organizations will also be offered, as well as tips for conducting a search for a board opportunity.
 
The session will be February 9th and run from 6pm to 9pm at the UM Business School's Southfield Classroom. Food and beverages for a light dinner will be included.   If you have any questions, please contact Steve Renaldi for additional information at (734) 737-9515 or srenaldi@cambia-mca.com.
