• Conduct an inventory of your personal values, skills, and passions 

• Reflect on the impact you want to make in the community 

• Begin developing a plan for putting your Why into action

There are many organizations in need of committed volunteer leaders and pressing community issues facing our city—but showing up is only the beginning. Understanding how to contribute meaningfully, build trust, and stay engaged over time is what turns interest into impact. 

In this workshop, you will: 

• Hear directly from organizational leaders about what engaged board membership looks like across different types and sizes of organizations  

• Learn practical steps to build authentic relationships that create a pathway to board and leadership opportunities  

• Explore strategies for staying engaged through the less visible (and sometimes less exciting) parts of board service  

• Identify the behaviors that strengthen board/organization partnerships—ensuring your contributions fuel the mission rather than unintentionally drain resources  

Who should participate in this workshop: 

• Anyone interested in serving on a nonprofit board or in a volunteer leadership role  

• Current board members looking to deepen their impact and engagement  

• Community members who want to better understand how to build meaningful, mission-aligned relationships with organizations
