Welcoming New Board Members: Core Legal Responsibilities

We  often take for granted that new board members understand their roles  and responsibilities when they show up to board service with your  association. But how do you really know that all board members are on  the same page? This workshop will focus on the core legal  responsibilities for every board member.  We'll talk about the necessary  focus of all board, governing the association, versus "doing" and  "managing" the work. We'll share some suggested board practices that  help you carry out those core duties.
