Resolution #8: Take advantage of
educational offerings
As a board officer, it's vital to understand your job duties and the role you play on the
board. One way to do this is to attend board member educational sessions. Knowing
more about the purpose of the board and how you can contribute to its success will help
you stay prepared, motivated, and focused in the year ahead. Educating yourself will
also give you the tools to cope with any stress or difficulties you may experience while
serving on the board.
Some ways to ramp up your educational efforts are to:
• Reach out to your community manager for tips and training ideas
• Seek support from more experienced board members
• Connect with former board members for guidance
• Find online training courses
