Bonus Session: What Every Nonprofit Board Member Needs to Know
Following the Regional Forum, KNN CEO Danielle Clore will provide an important refresher on the core roles and responsibilities of charitable nonprofit boards of directors. This is a great opportunity to bring your board members to the Regional Forum and stick around for content that will ensure they have the information they need to effectively champion your mission, support organizational leadership, and meet their legal oversight responsibilities.

After the event: If you are interested in learning more about a potential regional advocacy/public policy coalition for the PADD region, please stay after the Regional Forum for a discussion. We want to hear from leaders of organizations that may be interested in joining a regional advocacy coalition of nonprofits, similar to KNN’s other coalitions, like the Southeastern KY Nonprofit Coalition, and together plan next steps. If you have questions about the coalition exploration meeting, please email laela@kynonprofits.org.
