ESC of the Triangle Spring 2024 Board Leadership Series is full!!

Thank you for your interest in ESC’s Board Leadership Series, click here to join our mailing list to be notified of future events!

Since 2018, the Board Leadership Series has helped new nonprofit executive directors and board members understand their roles and enhance their effectiveness by gaining knowledge of the critical areas that impact board governance and the complexities of the nonprofit landscape. The Spring 2024 Board Leadership Series is a great learning experience for organizations to gain insight from industry experts, interact with other local nonprofits and increase your organization’s capacity to impact change.

We understand the importance of flexibility, which is why we offer two different sessions to accommodate participants’ schedules. You can choose to join us on Tuesday for the first presentation or attend the Wednesday session for a second chance to hear the same valuable information. All sessions will be held virtually from March 5 to June 12, starting at 12 p.m. and ending at 1:30 p.m.  Thanks in part to funding from the Fund for the Triangle – Support for Capacity Building of Triangle Community Foundation, the cost of participation is $100 per person for North Carolina nonprofit organizations and $150 per person for all others (outside of NC).
