CGIC CPD Webinar – Corporate vs. Not-for-Profit Boards: More Alike Than You Think
The corporate boards you serve on or support in your professional role may seem worlds apart from the not-for-profit boards that shape your community. But are they really that different? In this webinar, we’ll explore the key similarities and differences in how these boards operate and govern – challenging assumptions and uncovering insights that can enhance your effectiveness in both arenas.
