The relationship between the board mentor and the student intern is critical for success of the program.
Attend and participate in board meetings; ask questions and apply workshop learnings.
Practice the skills of observation, time management, personal organization, effective communication, and consideration for others at all board meetings.
Be proactive about brainstorming possible projects for the board that will fulfill a need.
Produce a final project for the board that will enhance board governance. The final project will be presented at graduation.
Attend and participate in all of the workshops to ensure a basic foundation of knowledge and experience.
*PLEASE NOTE: If a participant misses more than 2 online workshops regardless of reason or advance notice, without making up for it, they will not be eligible to receive the NPBI certificate. If a workshop is missed, interns must complete a make-up assignment based on the missed content. The make-up assignment has a deadline for completion and will be emailed to missing participants after the session.
