Dynamics of Nonprofit Board Engagement ((3 Credits))

Catalog description

The success of a nonprofit board depends on the skills of its members. “The principal roles of the board of directors are to represent the public (or membership) interests in the organization and to represent the organization as its legal voice” (Bryce, 2017 paragraph 1). This will result in duties that include but not limited to obtaining and supporting operations that are consistent with nonprofit organizations, aiding in fund raising for the board, and acting in the best interest of the board and its role in society. Students in this course will study how a nonprofit board operates, the required financial management skills, the ethical values of a nonprofit and its board members, and how nonprofit organizations affect their stakeholders.
