The 101 Speaker Series is designed to engage the audience through interaction with our local panel of experts. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions on a wide range of topics of interest. The series is open to the public with lunch and parking provided free of charge; however, registration is required.

An effective board can make the difference for an organization’s culture and success. But what is an effective board? The first 101 Speaker Series will address a board’s role in an organization, how to start a board for your organization, and how to position yourself to serve on a board. Join us on Wednesday, June 7, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Aliber Hall, Room 101, to learn more about board development and to ask your questions to our panel of experts.
