Nonprofit Board Retreat Agenda

by William J. Moran, J.D., M.S.Ed.

Nonprofit boards should gather once a year to review the past year and plan for the coming year.  This may be done at an off  business site such as a board member’s home.  If done in in a 3-4 hour session, this can serve as a fun gathering.
