How do we help new board members feel welcome, understand their responsibilities, and contribute meaningfully from the start of their board term? Through intentional onboarding and training!  

Effective onboarding connects people to the organization’s mission, culture, and work while preparing them for their important governance role. In this webinar, participants will assess their organization's current orientation practices, explore a practical first 90-days onboarding pathway, and identify ways to connect each member’s strengths, interests, and lived experience to create meaningful board contributions, so board members feel welcomed, valued and mission-committed. We will also examine how ongoing learning opportunities for the collective board strengthens the entire board.

Through a guided self-assessment, real-world scenarios, and action planning, participants will identify practical improvements they can adapt to their organization’s size, structure, and resources. 

Learning Objectives
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Assess current onboarding practices. Use a practical checklist to identify strengths, gaps, and priority improvements in the new board member experience.
• Design a first 90-days onboarding pathway. Outline a sequence of learning and relationship-building activities that introduce essential governance documents, mission and strategy, organizational finances, board culture, and member responsibilities.
• Connect individual strengths to meaningful engagement. Identify opportunities that align members’ skills, interests, lived experience, and availability with committee service and other board responsibilities.
• Plan for continuous board learning. Identify ongoing development practices and select one improvement to implement, with a clear owner and timeline.

As nonprofits across the country respond to changes in federal funding and increasing uncertainty in the funding landscape, many organizations are exploring new ways to sustain their missions, protect services, and strengthen community impact. One strategy that funders and nonprofit leaders increasingly recognize as essential is collaboration.

Working together can help organizations leverage complementary strengths, share resources, expand reach, and pursue funding opportunities that may be difficult to secure alone. Yet successful collaboration is rarely as simple as bringing organizations together. Effective partnerships require trust, alignment around shared goals, clear communication, and a commitment to navigating challenges collectively.

We invite you to join us for a discussion focused on how nonprofits are building collaborative partnerships that can strengthen organizational resilience and community impact.

What to expect: 

• Real-world examples of organizations working together to respond to funding and programmatic challenges
• Practical strategies for building trust, creating shared goals, and sustaining partnerships over time
• Insights on collaborative fundraising, joint programming, coalition building, and shared resource models
• Opportunities to exchange ideas, questions, and lessons learned with nonprofit peers

Nonprofit Connections RI is a monthly meet up for nonprofits and fans that takes place around the Ocean State. It is a free event to connect and collaborate!

The purpose of putting this together is to help build a stronger community of shared support and resources one relationship at a time. Because, we do more, together. 

It is important to note that this is not a typical networking event. It isn't about collecting business cards or pitching services. It is about building relationships and community starting with a conversation. It is about bringing nonprofit folks and business owners together to connect with one another. It might lead to finding your next board member or a new client, but right now it is sort of the 'meet cute' moment as they say in showbiz.

Our gatherings resumed on September 17, 2025 and take place the 3rd Wednesday of each month from 6 pm to 8 pm:
