We are excited to welcome Nikki Rashada McCord, who will present three sessions on nonprofit board development.

• Board Governance 101 04/16/2025
• Successful Relations between the Board and Executive Director Date TBD
• Short-term Goal Setting Date TBD

Topics covered during “Board Governance 101” will reintroduce Board Directors to the definition of a 501(c)(3), identify the legal responsibilities of Board Directors, and clarify the roles and responsibilities of a board director.

These sessions will:

• Create engaged and involved board directors who are dedicated to fulfilling the mission of their individual organizations;
• Establish shared goals for these organizations and the role board directors play.

These sessions will be held virtually and will be interactive. Not only will you be learning from the workshop, you will also have an ability to ask questions and share best practices in a supportive environment.

Each 90 minute session will be led by Nikki McCord. Nikki is the founder of McCord Consulting Group, a Black-owned, woman-owned boutique firm with locations in Boulder, Colorado and Panamá City, Panamá. Nikki is a public speaker and facilitator, training audiences to break free of the status quo so that they can lead their teams and organizations to the next phase of development. She has spoken before the following audiences: The University of Notre Dame, Financial Planning Association, BevNet, ExpoWest, Alliance Management Institute, and the Colorado Small Business Development Center.

Ms. McCord’s civic and professional board participation includes the City of Boulder Board of Zoning Adjustment. Her past board participation includes the Posner Center for International Development, Boulder Housing Partners, and the Community Affairs Council of the Boulder Chamber.
