Training

Tre offers a series of training sessions that can be delivered one-on-one, or to groups of key staff, board members, and other stakeholders. Whether you need one session or twelve, we will work with you to put together a comprehensive curriculum tailored to your specific needs.

Board Development

Excellence in the board room is a hallmark of successful organizations.

In the 2007 Governance Index, published by BoardSoarce, cheif executives AND board members rate "non-profit board performance as mediocre at best." The same report identifies five areas of board performance that need the most improvement:

  • Fundraising
  • Board recruitment
  • Strategic planning
  • Strategic leadership
  • Board member participation

Our goal is to provide board members with the information they need to become more effective as board members, the skills to make a positive contribution to their board, and improve the functioning of the Board of Directors as a whole.

Topics:

  • Stages of Board Development
  • Roles and Responsibilities
  • Fiscal Oversight: The Basics
