Board Organizational Preparedness
A diverse nonprofit board ensures that the organization's leadership is connected to the communities they serve. If board members embody the identities of those communities, they are more likely to respond to their needs more effectively. CEN’s Board Organizational Preparedness (BOP) program supports organizations working to diversify their boards and do exactly that. The program promotes long-term success through a deep understanding of IDEAL principles. Our work centers around inclusion, diversity, equity, access, and liberation (IDEAL) principles in all that we do, as part of our commitment to dismantling structural and institutional challenges in the nonprofit sector, empowering board members to continue this important work in their own organizations.
CEN has designed a two-part series of workshops to help organizations diversify their Boards and to prepare these organizations for the annual Board Match Event:
CEN has designed a two-part series of workshops to help organizations diversify their Boards and to prepare these organizations for the annual Board Match Event:
IDEAL Training: This workshop is a genuine, candid space to explore IDEAL principles and their effect on the nonprofit organizations themselves, as well as, the communities they serve.

Panel Discussion and Round table: Guest speakers offer peer learning and leading practices to embody IDEAL. Then, BOP organizations are invited to share their plans to incorporate IDEAL into their governance and board recruitment practices.
