OCHRS Non-Profit Service Academy Announced (formerly called Leadership Academy)

This is the second year to offer training for the human resource professional to serve on community non-profit boards of directors.  Service is one opportunity to give back to the community as an individual and as a local employer.  This is a six-week course over three months and it is an application-based process.

Learn key leadership and service skills for serving on non-profit boards from experienced members of the professional community. Network with instructors and fellow academy members and learn the following topics:

•         Crucial Conversations
•         Understanding By-Laws
•         Project Management for Board Service
•         Teamwork on Boards
•         Understanding Financial Statements
•         Working with Sponsors
•         Ethics in Board Service
•         Developing Membership and Volunteers
•         Making Presentations for Boards
•         Diversity on Boards
•         Everything DiSC for Leaders

Last year, I had the honor of graduating from the first Non-Profit Board Service Academy class designed by OCHRS!  I cannot speak more highly of this program! The curriculum is spot-on preparing professionals to lead and serve their community!  We were a class of fifteen professionals from various industries, who became great friends and colleagues!  In this hands-on program, we gained insight to understanding Financial Statements and Bylaws, we learned to apply the DISC Assessment concept in the workplace, we took the lead as Project Managers, we designed Presentations, and we learned to apply our leadership skills while having those Crucial Conversations that no one wants to have!  This Academy has immeasurable value to anyone in a leadership capacity, and I highly recommend!!  ~Kimmi Houston, Realtor~
