Training

VMC believes that education and training is an important part of our mission, and we are pleased to offer a number of different sessions:

Effective Not-for-Profit Leadership Series

The series was designed for non-profit executive directors, senior agency staff, and board presidents. This educational curriculum, funded by First Energy Foundation, will include –but is not limited to—workshops on:

  • strategic planning
  • financial oversight
  • risk management/insurance
  • resource development strategies
  • partnerships, mergers and acquisitions
  • legal and fiduciary roles of boards
  • evaluation of agency programs and staff
  • new trends in volunteering
  • volunteer management

 

Board Training

These sessions address the processes essential to the creation and growth of a successful, dynamic board. Topics are presented by trained workshop leaders from both the not-for-profit and corporate communities. This VMC program can be tailored to address the particular needs of an organization, and is provided on a contractual basis. Fees vary based on the size of the group, materials required and the extent of the training.

New Board Member Orientation

Every month, in partnership with Family Services of Morris County, VMC offes a two-hour new Board member orientation on trustee roles and responsibilities, which is FREE to all newly-elected trustees. Sessions will be staggered between morning, lunch break and early evening to accommodate everyone’s schedule.  Sessions will be held at Family Services’ new headquarters unless otherwise noted. Advance registration is required.
