SUMMARY:Standards of Excellence: Board Leadership
DESCRIPTION:The Standards of Excellence Institute\, a project of Maryland Nonprofits\, provides nonprofits with a common-sense approach to achieving the highest standards in governance and management through an extensive library of educational resources and a nationwide network of support. As part of our commitment to serving Illinois’ social impact sector\, Forefront staff members have undergone training to become Standards of Excellence Licensed Consultants who can bring best-in-practice approaches and resources to our community. \nJoin the Forefront team and your nonprofit colleagues in a workshop focused on Standards of Excellence in Board Leadership. Learn more about board responsibilities and best practices in governance as well as tools to help enhance board engagement. This session will also examine the role of D.E.I. in the nonprofit boardroom and provide policies\, assessments\, and other tools that can be customized to fit your organizational needs.  \nPrimary Learning Goals:   \n\nBecome familiar with Standards of Excellence broadly   \nUnderstand the Guiding Principle and best practices around board leadership and governance \nDevelop confidence in creating policies and tools that are consistent with the mission and capacity of the organization  \n\nForefront is launching a new Pay-What-You-Can ticket model for our programs. The goal is to be as accessible as possible to our community as the recovery from the pandemic is ongoing. We continue to offer ticket levels for our Forefront Members\, as well as the public. New ticket levels include an Community Access and a Forefront Supporter level. The Community Access tickets are intended for individuals and organizations that have been negatively impacted by the pandemic or other factors. The Forefront Supporter level is for folks who are able and interested in supporting the work for our community with a slightly larger contribution. We trust that you will select the ticket level that best fits your current situation. \nTicket levels: \n\nCommunity Access : $5\nGeneral Admission – Member : $15\nGeneral Admission – Non-member : $45\nForefront Community Supporter : $65
