Board Service 101

About this event

Join Spokes for this informative session and learn what is involved in serving on a nonprofit board and why you should consider doing it.

Over 1,500! That’s how many charitable nonprofit organizations there are in San Luis Obispo County. And each of them must, by law, be governed by a board of directors.

Serving as a director on a nonprofit board offers valuable benefits to both you and your community. You’ll develop leadership skills, expand your network, and make a meaningful impact on a cause you care about. Your volunteer service ensures the organization stays mission-focused and effective, supporting positive change and enhancing the quality of life in your community.

Topics in this short introduction include:

Your responsibilities as a director

The three “duties” of a nonprofit director
