Spark is a half-day virtual and/or in-person leadership symposium to help leaders of all levels to not just keep up but get ahead in this new and different world.The way we live and work has been forever changed. Learn from those who have successfully navigated this new environment. Hear their “secrets” (hint: sometimes it was failure) and get practical takeaways that you use to advance your own civic and professional work.

The event features an opening keynote from internationally-renown the telos institute, a fireside chat about a new civic vision from those leading the way, multiple breakout sessions on a variety of leadership and civic topics, and more!

Not that many years ago nonprofit consultants provided training in "boardsmanship," focusing on roles and responsibilities, effective meeting management, and the importance of dedicating time, talent, and treasure to the organization. As in all fields, theories of effective board governance have evolved over the years as new generations of thought leaders address the problems they perceive. Most recently, this has included solutions for inequities that are embedded in traditional models. Join us to review changes in the theory and practice of modern board governance and explore ways to make improvements with your home organization's board of directors.

Facilitated by Cathy Allen, The Board Doctor.
