Podcasts for Nonprofit Boards
Podcasts are simple and effective ways to educate your Board. Through 8-10 minute educational teachings, podcasts offer an integrated and holistic training approach for busy Boards. They are ideal for introducing a topic for discussion, reviewing roles and responsibilities, and gaining insights for your current Board decisions and challenges.
Starting your Board meeting with a podcast can help create a focused environment for an efficient and productive meeting. Podcasts are available to BoardStar members free of charge, and, each month, one podcast will be available for nonmembers.
