Board Leadership Training ProgramThe Bay Area’s only arts-specific training program Want to take your skills beyond the workplace? Interested in the arts? Starting a business you want to connect to the community? Board Training is a way to set yourself apart from the crowd!
Business Arts Council’s Board Leadership Training Program is a two evening interactive learning experience offering participants the opportunity to put their business skills to good use in a nonprofit arts environment. Explore best practices in board leadership with like-minded business professionals and senior arts managers from Bay Area arts organizations.
The training features a "make believe" case study of an arts organization facing real-world challenges and a mock board meeting you’ll participate in alongside guest arts managers who not only work in the arts now, but who are also from groups currently seeking new board members.
