Human Resources - Centering Equity and Managing Risk
Details
About the event
Executive directors and managers can spend so much time putting out fires and addressing daily activities, that it can be difficult to focus on your organization’s policies and procedures. Creating equitable HR policies can help retain staff and protect your organization from legal risk. Learn more about when to seek external support, such as through an HR consultant or attorney, and what questions you should be asking with your team and board. This interactive session will create a space for everyone in the room to share and learn from one another. Taos programs are presented in partnership with the Taos Community Foundation.

Board Recruitment, Retention, and DEI & Measuring Impact and Promoting Improvement
This Fall 2024 program is designed specifically for current nonprofit board members. Over the course of six sessions, our goal is to provide an overview of the nonprofit sector and its structure as well as support, knowledge, and skill-building around the fundamentals of board participation. The program includes guest speakers from the community to address the day-to-day details and real-life responsibilities of board service. Whether your board is 3 years old or 30, with a large staff or no staff, serving as a board member is a specific responsibility.
Recruiting and Retaining Board Members
with Nelsy Dominguez
Recruiting new board members can be challenging in small communities. It is important that you are thinking of the skills and voices needed to help your board succeed. There are strategies you can use to build a diverse board with people who are passionate about your cause and can bring specific skills to the table. Hear how term limits can help you strengthen your board and ways to keep board members who “time off” your board engaged. Taos programs are presented in partnership with the Taos Community Foundation.
