Clinton School alum Katie Milligan (’13) partnered with the Junior League of Little Rock to develop a curriculum and guide for a course to create active, effective and knowledgeable nonprofit board members.
Milligan researched several other similar national programs and spoke with nonprofit organizations and possible participants to identify the themes and course subjects that would be the most valuable to educate interested individuals on nonprofit boards of directors. These themes were used to inform the development of course materials and appropriateness for the Little Rock area.
The Junior League of Little Rock and The Arkansas Nonprofit Alliance are proud to announce the Nonprofit Board Institute (NPBI). NPBI will train individuals on how to be effective nonprofit board members through a five-week evening training session course.
The inaugural course will be held during the month of April 2014. All sessions will be held on Tuesday evenings from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Junior League of Little Rock Building located at 401 South Scott Street, Little Rock, AR 72201.
Subject matter experts will train participants on the following:
- Basic board responsibilities, Robert’s Rules of Order, and staff relations.
- Leadership, communication, and cultural competency
- Financial responsibility, liability, and literacy and fundraising
- Strategic planning
All men and women who currently serve or are interested in serving as a nonprofit board member are invited to register for the NPBI. For more information contact npbi@jllr.org.
