Applications Now Open for Winter 2023 Gulf Coast Board Institute

November 28, 2022 by Post

VENICE, FL (November 28, 2022) – Gulf Coast Community Foundation is now accepting applications for its 2023 Winter Gulf Coast Board Institute (GCBI). The online application and overview for the program are available at https://www.gulfcoastcf.org/gulf-coast-board-institute. This high-demand program is delivered through Gulf Coast’s Invest in Incredible consultants to active and prospective nonprofit board members in the Gulf Coast region. The deadline to apply for this governance training series is Sunday, December 11.

“Combining interactive educational sessions with follow-up peer discussions, our Board Institute provides important knowledge in governance best practices for nonprofit board members in our region. Being a part of Gulf Coast’s Board Institute opens one up to valuable resources, peer connections, and an in-depth exploration of key governance topics. It is truly not to be missed,” said Veronica Thames, Chief Operating Officer of Gulf Coast Community Foundation.

The group will participate in training experiences on the following Fridays: February 17, February 24, and March 3, March 10, 2023 at Gulf Coast Community Foundation’s new Sarasota Philanthropy Center, 1549 State Street, Sarasota. Topics will include fundamentals of nonprofit board governance, financial and legal oversight responsibilities, and how to create a diverse, highly functioning, and engaged board. The training is led by certified consultants who are part of Gulf Coast’s Invest in Incredible nonprofit capacity-building initiative.

Participants will be selected through a competitive process with the intent of creating a group of individuals with a variety of experiences. Gulf Coast provides all training and resources at no cost to participants in exchange for their commitment to serve as advocates for good board governance in current and future nonprofit board roles. Applicants are encouraged to be current, active board members at a nonprofit in the region, although prospective board members will also be considered. Because of strong demand for this high-quality training opportunity, applicants also must sign a commitment that they will attend all four days of training if selected.
