Event Description

What information do board members need to carry out your organization’s fiduciary responsibilities? How can you work with your executive director to utilize your nonprofit's financial statements effectively? What other types of information do you need in order to make strategic decisions toward fulfilling your mission and maintaining the financial health of your agency? Understand your role in the financial management of your nonprofit and learn how to:

  • Provide guidance to your management staff about what financial information you need and want as a board member
  • Tap into board member talents to share expertise with those members who "don't like numbers"
  • Encourage productive board discussions about financial decisions
  • Focus board attention on critical indicators

Join Margaret Mahoney, TACS Senior Consultant, to find out how to get the information your Board needs to make the best decisions for your organization in the challenging times ahead. Margaret brings over 25 years of public management of large organizations and nonprofit board service to her consulting at TACS. She currently works with public and nonprofit organizations on strategic planning, business systems management, human resources management, and policy and program development. As a public manager she has been responsible for budgets in excess of 30 million dollars, and as Treasurer and other officer positions on five nonprofit boards, she has worked with budgets ranging from $25,000 to over $20 million.
