Gulf Coast Community Foundation is now accepting applications for its Summer 2018 Gulf Coast Board Institute. The Board Institute is a high-level governance training series for volunteer nonprofit board members. The summer session will consist of four full-day trainings from mid-July through early August. An online application is available, and must be completed by June 8 for consideration. The foundation will select up to 25 applicants to participate in the summer Board Institute. The group will meet four consecutive Fridays from July 13 to August 3, covering topics such as the fundamentals of nonprofit board governance, financial and legal oversight responsibilities, and how to create a highly functioning and engaged board. Participants will be selected through a competitive process with the intent of creating a group of individuals with a variety of experiences. Gulf Coast provides all training and resources at no cost to participants in exchange for their commitment to serve as advocates for good board governance in current and future nonprofit board roles. Applicants must be currently active board members at a nonprofit in the region to be considered.
