Our Strategic Partnership With Hiland Consulting

As a result of this new partnership CEN members can get lifetime access to Hiland Consulting’s Board Orientation Success for just $497 (a $200 savings!).
One of the biggest opportunities you have to ensure your board realizes its full potential is in orienting new board members effectively.  Most nonprofits have board orientations that focus on information about the nonprofit itself, yet don’t have an efficient and consistent way to make sure board members understand their governing roles and responsibilities as well. CEN is partnering with Hiland Consulting to address this challenge.

About Board Orientation Success

Board Orientation Success is delivered in 5 short, manageable training modules that provide a comprehensive view of all nonprofit governance entails. Board members will get all they need to know to be effective and benefit your nonprofit.

As a member of CEN, you and your organization can get a 30% discount on lifetime access to Board Orientation Success!
​
Each module includes a downloadable Action Guide that summarizes the module and provides action steps to reinforce the learning. The Easy online access 24/7 is completely automated—it doesn’t take your time or anyone else’s to set up.

"This resource was a big help in my first role as an Executive Director. Having Board Orientation Success gave me the assurance that we were supporting our board members to be the best they can be as partners in achieving our nonprofit’s impact. It is all too common that organizations have no true board member orientation. In addition, the board members and executive directors of these organizations do not have the resources and time to create them. That’s why, as the Executive Director of CEN, I am delighted to partner with Mary Hiland to bring Board Orientation Success to our members at significant savings. We hope that you will take advantage of this great member benefit!”
