NWAEL Board Service Certification

NWA Emerging Leaders has developed a certification program for board service to assist emerging leaders in pursuing leadership and service positions and to create a reputable source for organizations to recruit emerging talent to serve in leadership capacities. This program is only offered in-person. 

Four key areas of board service: 

1. Commitments and expectations
2. Legal and ethical considerations
3. Finance
4. Fundraising

Agenda:

• Overarching Principles and Core Responsibilities of Board Service
• Legal and Ethical Considerations of Board Service
• Financial Considerations of Board Service
• Your Role in Fundraising
• The Importance of Diversify Your Board

Why it matters: The NWAEL Board Service Certification program was formed with a vision of creating a leadership pool in order to link ready, willing, and able emerging talent to organizations, public and private boards, commissions, and other areas of leadership needed to benefit the community. NWAEL aims to prepare participants for leadership and service positions in Northwest Arkansas.
