Board Orientation & Leadership Development (BOLD)

Board Orientation & Leadership Development (BOLD) is a training program designed for volunteers interested in board service, newly elected board members, and seasoned board members seeking to refamiliarize themselves with the fundamentals and core competencies of board service. Our mission is to prepare participants to meaningfully contribute to a nonprofit organization and advance the common good in Eastern Iowa.

We offer two pathways, tailored for either community members or college students. This cohort-based program includes six core skills classes, supplemental sessions, board meeting observation, and networking opportunities.
