Since 2006, Third Sector Company has offered its highly-acclaimed “Board Chairs Academy” based on the philosophical viewpoint that “Governance as Stewardship” is the most accurate depiction of board obligations essential to advancing community causes. Beginning in 2024, the Academy has been modified to welcome our customers to take part in one or more sessions of the Academy as well as access customized board training programs and consultations.

A trained faculty of instructors, who have completed and taught many Board Chairs Academies over the years, offer six 2.5-hour online experiences to benefit individual board members as well as groups of board members who choose to learn together. Each session offers content delivery, a featured guest board speaker, and group discussion.  

The first Board Chairs Academy learning lab starts on March 8.
