How to Train Your Board for Maximum Engagement

AFP Big Bend is thrilled to welcome master trainer, Chad Barger, ACFRE, ACNP, to our chapter for a session filled with board training exercises that you can use to boost board engagement at your organization. The included exercises are designed to better define board responsibilities, help them talk about the organization in the community, identify fundraising tasks that they are comfortable with, clarify the board-executive director relationship and help them to facilitate more effective committee meetings. Session participants will receive worksheets and samples to aid in implementing the exercises.

Chad Barger helps nonprofit professionals fundraise more efficiently and effectively. He is the chief strategist and owner of the firm Productive Fundraising, which focuses on bringing actionable, research-based fundraising tactics to small and mid-sized non-profits. He is a top-rated conference speaker and webinar presenter as well as a master trainer of nonprofit boards that “don’t want to fundraise.” He teaches fundraising at both Temple University and Messiah University and is one of only 117 fundraisers in the world to achieve the Advanced Certified Fund Raising Executive (ACFRE) credential. Chad is also a strategic advisor and coach to many non-profit fundraisers, executive directors and board members.
