Things to Consider
- FACT: It is essential for a Health Center to have board members that are knowledgeable in their roles and responsibilities as a governing board.
- FACT: Nonprofit organizations rarely provide a thorough orientation of their board members duties and responsibilities to newly elected board members.
- FACT: When board members receive quality training they are more confident in their roles and responsibilities and thus more likely to participate and contribute in board discussion and activities.
- QUESTION: How often is training and education made available to Health Center board members and staff in your state?
- QUESTION: Is ongoing, quality training for your board members and staff limited or non-existent in your locality?
- QUESTION: Is the training conveniently located and offered at acceptable times for all board members and staff to attend?
- QUESTION: How many of your board members are able to actively participate in seminars and training events?
- FACT: In most cases, only a small percentage of Health Center board members and staff are able to attend events because of scheduling conflicts, time constraints, long distance travel, and cost.
- QUESTION: What is the average cost for your board members to attend a training seminar, conference or webinar?
- FACT: A typical training event , conference, or seminar will demand the costs for travel, lodging, meals, registration fees, and sometimes even printed materials.
- QUESTION: How do you measure the effectiveness of the training your board members have received?
- FACT: Usually at training seminars, the only one being graded is the presenter at the end of the seminar.
- FACT: Participants at seminars and webinars most often are rewarded with an acknowledgment of their attendance, not for their proficiency in learning the training material covered for the session.
