Board Service Basics is Back!

This podcast was originally recorded in 2021, but this amazing course is offered annually. For upcoming course dates, visit www.vailvalleyworks.org. We at Vail Valley Partnership are really excited about these guests. We've been following the work of Dr. Jill McCrory and Dr. Steve Swafford with Leadership Outfitters. These are two nationally recognized educators and they join us for a conversation about a one-day program they will be leading called Board Service Basics. This is coming directly from our interaction with businesses asking for more community diversity on their boards, as well as the community wanting to serve.Topic Outline:The “Nuts & Bolts” (organizational structure, governance, tax status, financial documents, Robert’s Rules of Order, etc)Roles & expectations of a board memberQuestions to ask when you’re approached to sit on a board of directorsFinding your passion & strengths as they relate to board serviceUnderstanding communication styles, emotional intelligence and motivating factorsIndividual & organizational valuesManaging healthy conflictWorking in and with teamsElements of powerful, healthy, and successful partnershipsImplementing steps for effective collaborationLocal Eagle County case studies
