The Vocation of the Trustee Workshops

This series of workshops for Boards of Directors is offered through the Center for Faith-Based Leadership. LSA is a Governing Member of the Center. "Called to God's Work" explores the theological dimension of board work as participation in God's ongoing work in the world. Board members explore their own passion and sense of call for the work and align the vocation of the organization with their personal commitments. The second component, "Doing God's Work" incorporates a theological dimension into the framework for nonprofit governance developed Richard Chait and William Ryan at the Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations at Harvard and set forth in their book Governance as Leadership. Included in the series of 3-4 hour interactive workshops are:

• Called to God's Work
• Governance Board Basics
• Developing an Effective Board
• Creating Effective Meetings
• Thinking, Planning, and Acting Strategically
• Selecting and Appointing the Chief Executive
• Partnering with your Chief Executive
