Summary: Too many nonprofit boards are falling behind when it comes to financial oversight. Treasurers are unsure what to review, board members avoid financial discussions, and reports arrive late, unclear, or incomplete. This leaves Executive Directors isolated and organizations vulnerable to risk and missed opportunities. In this practical session, you’ll hear from seasoned advisors to NPO boards on how to build stronger financial leadership, clear responsibilities, and effective oversight at the board level so you can confidently scale your mission. Whether you’re a board member, ED, or governance advisor, this session will help you move from financial fog to strong, accountable, and aligned decision-making.
