August 2024
Dear Friends,
2023-2024 was a fabulous year - 90 people participated in our board trainings (including our basic foundations of board work, philanthropy for boards and facilitation for healthy meetings and decision making) and 40 people joined our Art of Administration courses. 2024-25 promises even more.
This fall we will offer two basic Prepared to Serve board workshops, two workshops on the Art of Facilitation and our popular Philanthropy and Fundraising course. We are also offering our course for new and nearly new administrators - the River, the Raft, and You.
See all the dates and details on the flyer below.
We hope you can join us.
And consider joining us in our Art of Administration Leadership Courses next summer - in person on Whidbey Island, WA, in Freeport, Maine and also online. Registration will begin in January.
We continue to be busy with our advisory, coaching, and mentoring work. We are making ourselves available for a conversation (free of charge) for anyone who could use some support. If you are interested, please email us at mhsoule@gmail.com . We would be happy to speak with you. In these times of great inner and outer disruption, we encourage you to continue your inner practices and seek others to speak with to find the insights and courage you need for this important work.
