A training program for board members and executive directors is coming to McCook. 

The Board Masters Training program will be offered Thursday, Nov. 11 at the Weeth Theater on McCook Community College campus.

The free, four-hour training session will be led by staff from the Nonprofit Association of the Midlands and is a tool for all local boards and executive directors to reach their maximum potential. Board Masters offers essential training for new and experienced executive directors and board members, providing them with practical information, resources, and tools that they can put to use right away to further their organizations’ missions.

To accommodate as many schedules as possible, two sessions are planned: 

8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. or 1:30-5:30 p.m. Both sessions will take place at the Weeth Theater on the MCC campus. 

Thanks to donations from the Graff Charitable Foundation, the McCook Community Foundation Fund and McCook Community College, there is no charge for the event. But for planning purposes, participants are asked to register at MCC’s Business and Community Education website, bceregister.mpcc.edu. 

Ideally, at least one staff member and one board member from an organization attends the training, but an entire board may attend if space allows.

This series is for you if:

You serve on a nonprofit board or are interested in board service

You wonder whether your board is serving your organization to the best of its ability

You want to help make your board better and you’re not sure what steps to take

Despite your passion for the organization, you are feeling disengaged and/or untapped as a board member

All participants will have access to tools & templates to use in their organizations, as well as ongoing technical assistance from NAM staff as participants put all that they have learned to use.

Registration is encouraged as soon as possible as the sessions are predicted to fill up.
