Our new Certified Volunteer Board Member Program will take you on a tour of all the rooms of an organization to explain topics like:

Governance
Board Structure
Roles and Responsibilities
Risk Management
Board Development
Planning and Strategic Direction
Communications
Board Meetings

Each room represents one of the sections in the Governance Guidebook. Each room has objectives to meet/complete before learner can leave Once learner clicks on a room, image changes to show the room itself, rather than the overhead view. There is a board member in each room. Learner must work their way through the room – answering questions, watching videos, completing activities – to earn the vote of the board member and be allowed to move to another room. Final room is the boardroom. Learner must earn the final vote of the Board Chair to successfully complete the game.
