Teresa Hammond, Executive Director, Alleghany Highlands Chamber of Commerce & Tourism stated, “This workshop will provide and enhance the skills of our area board members to help them better understand their roles in the governance of their boards and nonprofits.”
“The Alleghany Foundation looks forward to providing this type of training for area nonprofit boards,” commented Mary Fant Donnan, Executive Director, The Alleghany Foundation. “In a survey of grantees conducted in the summer of 2016, one of the training needs identified was about board members’ roles and responsibilities. We feel this workshop will increase the working knowledge of each member which they will take back to strengthen their organizations’ governance,” she added.
