CONCORD — The Greater Cabarrus Foundation, through its capacity-building division, Support Cabarrus, will host its next Board Matching Training on March 18, from 6-8 p.m. at the Greater Cabarrus Foundation offices, 700 Church St. N., Suite 70, Concord. The free, two-hour interactive session is designed to prepare community members for effective and meaningful nonprofit board service.
Strong nonprofit boards are essential to sustainable organizations and thriving communities. This quarterly training equips participants with the knowledge and tools needed to serve with confidence while helping local nonprofits identify leaders whose skills and passions align with their missions.
"When we strengthen nonprofit boards, we strengthen the capacity of our entire community. Board Matching is one way we intentionally build leadership that supports sustainable impact across Cabarrus County," said Jenn Delaney, director of Capacity Building Services for Support Cabarrus.
During the session, participants will explore the role of nonprofit boards, legal and fiduciary responsibilities, governance versus operations, and the expectations of effective board service. Attendees will also complete a skills and interest inventory, allowing Support Cabarrus to connect them with organizations that match their experience and areas of passion.
"Participants can expect an engaging, practical training that breaks down what great board service really looks like," said Ashley Sedlak-Propst, program manager for Board Services. "We focus on real-world expectations, clear governance practices, and helping each person identify where their talents and interests can make the greatest impact."
The training is ideal for professionals seeking meaningful community involvement, current board members who want a governance refresher, individuals transitioning from one board to another, and anyone exploring nonprofit leadership for the first time.
