This webinar is for individuals already serving on nonprofit boards who are seeking an overview of their roles and responsibilities. Board members who have at least six months of board service will gain the most from participation. It is strongly suggested that multiple board members from the same organization and the executive director participate as a team for maximum benefit.

Thanks to the generosity of Kennebec Savings Bank, the Maine Downtown Center is able to offer $50 participation stipends to downtown leaders and volunteers from Augusta, Gardiner, Hallowell, Brunswick and Freeport. The stipend of $50 is meant to allow participants to attend more fully by receiving a stipend to use for a babysitter, take-out dinner because you are not able to cook that night, or generally to allow more people to participate in this training.
