What is the Center for Board Development

The Center for Board Development delivers resources that are intended to be practical, cost-effective, adaptable and respectful of each organization’s unique differences, objectives, values and culture.

Over the last three years, this work has been evolving and adapting as we receive more feedback from clients about the changing landscape of non-profit management. We have been conducting groups sessions and on-site facilitation since 2006, and are now delivering resources across Alberta.
