The Nonprofit Services Consortium has partnered with the Nonprofit Presidents Council to develop and offer a quarterly meeting in support of board leaders and board governance. The Presidents Council was formed in 2005 in an effort to offer a common space where nonprofit board leaders can meet their peers, discuss best practices and help deal with shared problems. Today, in partnership with NSC, quarterly meetings will continue to emphasize networking with colleagues in combination with building knowledge on various topics presented by nonprofit thought leaders. We hope you take advantage of this opportunity to interact with your peers and share strategies on effective nonprofit governance functions. All meetings will be held at the Engineers Club, 4359 Lindell from 8:00 AM - 9:30 AM. Meetings are open to all board presidents, past or newly elected. The final meeting of the year will be open to both board presidents and executive directors. Cost is $20 per person per meeting; includes continental breakfast. Deadline to register is one week prior to each meeting date. For more information, please contact Kristy Guttmann at kristy@nonprofitservices.org or by calling the NSC office at 314.436.9580. 2008 Board President Council Series Schedule Financial Leadership for Nonprofit Boards May 15, 2008 • 8:00 AM - 9:30 AM • Register Now!
