Women on Board
Because lasting change can only be created by empowering women and girls to realize their full potential, The Atlanta Women’s Foundation engages and educates women as leaders through its Women on Board program.
Created in 2000, the program was designed to increase the number of women on nonprofit boards in Metro Atlanta by providing effective board governance training to Atlanta women and connecting participants to nonprofit organizations. Since its inception, the program has trained over 1,500 women in board governance and leadership skills.
Level One: Introduction to Nonprofit Boards
An introduction to the basics of nonprofit board governance, roles and responsibilities of board members and how to find a board that is right for you.
Level Two: Advanced Board Training
This workshop explores advanced topics for board members including the financial responsibilities of nonprofit boards, how to build board capacity that supports organizational growth, and strategic planning for board members.
Upcoming Workshops
Registration is currently open for the April 20th Women on Board workshop.
Level II – Friday, April 20, 9 am – 3 pm, sponsored by Kilpatrick Townsend LLP
