Nonprofit Governance’s New Frontier:

Empowered and Connected Stakeholders

 November 16th 1:30-2:30pm EST

NPQ and BoardSource are pleased to present the panelists of our webinar on nonprofit governance: Teresa Tomlinson, Vernetta Walker and Carol Lazier. 

Many may remember when Sweet Briar College in Virginia and San Diego Opera Opera were declared dead by their boards over the past few years. Both institutions would have closed if not for the newly empowered stakeholders who were able to retake the institutions. 

Teresa Tomlinson is the new chairwoman of Sweet Briar College as well as Mayor of Columbus, Georgia. She will give you an inside look at  how they are approaching their board work and governance in a new, more networked way post the institutional save as well as her prospective on governance and stakeholders from the view of an elected official. 

Vernetta Walker is vice president of programs & chief governance officer for BoardSource. She has worked with many national and international nonprofit organizations addressing a wide range of governance issues, from how to start a nonprofit organization, to improving board engagement and performance, and restructuring complex entities.

Carol Lazier is president of the San Diego Opera board and participated in its decision to close so she also has a distinctive point of observation on these issues.

You don't want to miss this session’s first-hand accounts of active networked governance in the empowered stakeholder environment of the 21st century.
