Join us for the Spring 2012 Board Leadership Training!
Stand out through specialized training and become an effective nonprofit board leader
Board Leadership Development Training is the perfect educational course for the new or experienced non-profit board member. The courses, which are conducted by community leaders, are a result of a partnership between United Way of Greater Topeka and Washburn University Leadership Institute.
Our initial training provides the comprehension and skills necessary to handle the responsibilities of a board member. Then, there is the option to advance to a second tier of training that will give an in-depth look at the various issues that face nonprofits. This will include role playing experiences to really polish leadership skills in specific situations.
