  Board Roundtable

  TOPIC: Compensation.

  Let's have a conversation about how we compensate our nonprofit employees and the unique nature of nonprofit organizations.  

  Roundtable sessions include: 

  • Topic introduction by a community leader with experience in the subject 
  • Small group discussion
    
  • Plenty of time to ask questions and share experiences, so board members can learn from each other. 
    
    

  WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Nonprofit board members serving a nonprofit located within, and primarily serving, NPLI's service area.

  This is a space for nonprofit board members to learn. NPLI has other learning opportunities available for nonprofit staff members, so this event is for current nonprofit board members only.

  This is a free event, thanks to NPLI's generous donors, so participation is limited to nonprofits within our service area (Outagamie, Calumet, Shawano and Waupaca Counties and the Neenah-Menasha area of Winnebago County. Thank you for respecting the registration guidelines.

  “The board roundtables allow questions to come up that individuals as volunteers wouldn’t, or don’t feel like they could, ask their own executive directors. It gives board members another outlet to gather that information.”
