The Douglas W. Eberle Not-For-Profit Board Governance Series was established in 2008 to strengthen and sustain Not-For-Profit Boards in Tippecanoe and the surrounding counties. NCHS is partnering with The Community Foundation of Greater Lafayette and United Way of Greater Lafayette to present the education series. 

This series, named in honor of the late Douglas W. Eberle, is especially designed for volunteer leaders on Boards of Not-For-Profit Corporations.

The purpose of this program is to build knowledge about responsible oversight and governance, and effective responses to policy and management issues faced by today’s Not-For-Profit volunteer leaders.

The continuing education series is designed for, and limited to, Board volunteers and Executive Directors.

Leading regional and national instructors, with expertise in topics relating to board governance and leadership, will present information essential to guiding and sustaining Not-For-Profits. A networking reception with refreshments will conclude each session.
