The Boardroom Blueprint: Aligning Boards with Mission & Strategy
Elizabeth Vibber, MS-Director, Catalyst Center for Nonprofit Management
Nonprofit boards play a critical role in advancing mission and ensuring organizational success—but many board members are unsure where their responsibilities begin and end. The Boardroom Blueprint workshop provides a clear framework for understanding the essential duties of board members and how these responsibilities connect directly to mission and strategy. Participants will learn the core roles of nonprofit boards, including fiduciary oversight, strategic planning, fundraising and supporting executive leadership. Through interactive discussions and practical examples, the session will highlight the difference between governance and management, clarify expectations of individual board members and explore how to build a culture of accountability and engagement. Whether you are new to board service or an experienced member seeking a refresher, this workshop will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to fulfill your responsibilities effectively—and to help your board serve as a powerful partner in advancing the organization’s mission.
