For many nonprofit leaders, board engagement has become harder to sustain, and more important to get right. Today’s CEOs are navigating intense funding pressure and organizational strain while working with boards whose expectations were often shaped for a very different era. To help our members navigate these challenges, the Louisiana Alliance for Nonprofits is sharing an upcoming 75-minute webinar from the Chronicle of Philanthropy. 

This session features two nonprofit leaders with extensive experience as both executives and advisors. They will explore why board engagement often slips—citing unclear roles and misaligned expectations—and share the tactics currently helping leaders make the board-CEO relationship more productive and supportive.

Participants will gain practical insights into:

• Identifying Red Flags: How to recognize the early signs of disengagement before they lead to organizational strain.

• Role Clarification: Strengthening the board-CEO relationship by aligning expectations and decision-making boundaries.

• Navigating Complexity: Strategies for building a board that effectively supports leadership during moments of public scrutiny or financial pressure.

• Professional Credits: This session qualifies for 1.25 CFRE credits.

Whether you are looking to re-engage a board that has drifted or want to prevent challenges from taking hold in the first place, this session offers realistic approaches you can apply right away.
