Presented by the Center for Nonprofit Management and Hands On Nashville, OnBoard prepares participants for service on nonprofit organizations’ boards of directors and introduces them to agencies that may benefit from their involvement. Through OnBoard, managers and employees have the opportunity to learn about the nonprofit sector and key topics and trends within it from the Center’s expert trainers. CNM and Hands On have created a specialized and affordable program that can be brought to your office at a convenient time to train and mobilize your workforce. The one-day program and subsequent activity is as follows:
