Today it is one of the largest organizations of advancement professionals in Massachusetts.

May 22, 2008 – "How Does Your Board Measure Up?"

Join Betsy Kamborian as she describes ten characteristics of a healthy and effective board and how you can help your board acquire them. Do you sit in board meetings watching as your board wastes precious time discussing operations instead of policy? Or permitting ego-driven members to control the agenda? Find out how you, as development officer, can affect board governance and encourage good habits of board behavior. You will learn how to identify both dysfunctional board processes and disruptive board members and respond with persuasive and positive strategies. For more information and to register online.

City Service Program
