Extension offers online course for board members of nonprofits - University of Missouri Extension

University of Missouri Extension is offering online training for board members of nonprofit organizations. While board members can bring valuable skills and knowledge, they might not be ready to deal with issues such as conflicts of interest, maintaining minutes and other required documents, compensation of paid employees, and proper handling of grants, donations and other income, Mefford said. Bringing new board members up to speed can be difficult and expensive for small nonprofits, especially in rural communities. http://www.lakenewsonline.com/article/20150110/NEWS/150109168/-1/sports
