Nonprofit Info Session: How The SEAT Program Can Help You Build Your Board
Join Us May 29th on Zoom
12:15 PM – 1:15 PM
Join us on May 29th to learn how your organization can benefit from the SEAT Program.
SEAT is a program designed to increase diversity and inclusionary efforts of nonprofit boards by equipping and presenting residents from Black and Latino neighborhoods for board service. Gained skill sets include identifying transferrable skills, understanding nonprofit structure, understanding board governance, and preparing for board engagement.
Over the course of 8-Weekly sessions, SEAT trains Black and Latino residents from Greater Waterbury on board service. Upon completion of the training program, participants are connected to local nonprofits who are interested in building their board of directors. Residents are trained in identifying their transferable skills, the basics of fiscal and fiduciary responsibilities of a board, and best practices for board engagement.
The Information Session will:
- Provide an overview of how the program works
- Describe the training program provided to the SEAT candidates
- Outline the Meet & Greet and aspects of board recruiting through the SEAT program
- A timeline for the upcoming Greater Waterbury cohort including timing for interested nonprofit boards to submit the SEAT NPO application.
The program leads are Kim Bianca Burgess of VCL Consulting Group and Dorothy Adams, a nonprofit financial management consultant.
