Where’s Waldo? Finding (and keeping) Multigenerational Board Members
It seems everywhere we turn there are conversations about next generation leadership and nonprofit boards need to engage every generation they can to best serve their missions. With four generations available for nonprofit board service, it can be a challenge to lead with diverse perspectives and experiences. Learn how to get the most out of the generations to serve your board’s goals and the organizational mission.
In this session participants will learn:
• The characteristics of each generation including motivations, influencers, and more. • Ways to leverage the best ideas and leadership to serve the board’s needs. • Strategies to recruit and retain new leaders to your board of directors.
