Understanding the responsibilities and obligations of a board really helped me see how I will organize my own NGO in the coming years.

FSI's Board Director Training is unique. Compared to alternative programs on this topic, the workshops were more direct, more applied, more interactive, and more fun. The FSI series also helped me to understand the importance of boundaries between board roles and responsibilities, plus the importance of Advisory Boards.

The training really clarified what the role of the board is in relation to the rest of the organization, and it will help enhance or refresh some of the basic principles around board governance and being a director.
