Register for the Kennedy Center Board Member Seminar
Too few Board members have experience and/or skills in how to facilitate the effectiveness of organizations to succeed at their missions while navigating these challenges. As a result, many board members must rely too heavily on conventional wisdom as they attempt to fulfill their roles.
We encourage teams of current and potential board members and senior staff from arts organizations throughout the country to participate in this practical and user-friendly seminar. The senior staff of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts will lead teams in discussions promoting more effective and efficient board leadership. During this seminar, participants will learn how to delve into not-for-profit financial statements, how to select creative, resourceful, and forward-thinking individuals to lead their organizations, how to evaluate and implement fundraising campaigns, and the importance of and techniques for building institutional identity.
The seminar will take place at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. October 24-26, 2007.
