Nonprofit Board Lab 2025
December 4 @ 10:45 am – 5:30 pm
The Nonprofit Board Lab is built on the principle of iron sharpening iron—bringing together nonprofit leaders, board members, philanthropic partners, and corporate board placement professionals for open exchange, peer dialogue, and connections that extend across the nonprofit ecosystem. Through interactive sessions, participants listen, share perspectives, and learn from one another. Designed so you walk away with insights and tools to strengthen board governance, empower leadership, and operate with strategic flexibility.
Fresh Energy’s CEO, Margaret Cherne-Hendrick, is a featured speaker for the Strategic Flexibility Lab Session. In this session speakers will clarify the board’s role in planning, oversight, and organizational alignment, explore strategy in three realms, developing the plan, executing the plan and abandoning the plan when strategic pivot is required and explore a range of planning models—from nimble approaches for smaller organizations to structured frameworks for larger institutions—and learn how to choose the right fit based on capacity, complexity, and mission need.
