New Board Member Training

Our new Board Member Training consists of three parts: 

1) Review and Preparation: Review the training dashboard to see if this is a good fit for your Chapter. Note which topics you think the board members should focus on, and which ones they can skip. Customize the experience for your board members by creating an Additional Instructions Document to distribute at the kickoff meeting. 

2) Kickoff Meeting: Hold a kickoff meeting (usually in the fall) to introduce incoming board members to the Training Experience. Explain the difference between the Training dashboard and how things are done in your own Chapter. Email or distribute any supplemental training material you’ve created. 

3) New Board Member Training Module Completion: Incoming board members go through the training modules at their own pace, so they can get up to speed before they officially join the board in January. They are responsible for keeping track of their own progress through the training (they can print a topic checklist from the dashboard).
