On behalf of everyone at Third Sector Company, thanks so much for your interest in Board Chairs Academy. As we look to 2025, we believe the landscape for the nonprofit sector will be changing. In order for our team to have the capacity to better pursue our core focus of leadership continuity solutions across the sector, we have chosen to discontinue the six public Board Chairs Academy Learning Labs for 2025.

You and your nonprofit, however, can still benefit from our gold-standard board learning program by arranging for one or more of the Learning Labs to be conducted privately, online or in person, for your organization on a schedule that works for you. As a reminder, here are the six topics that we offer:

GOVERNANCE AS STEWARDSHIP: The Art of Governing a Community Cause
THE ABCS OF DEVELOPING A NONPROFIT BOARD: Evolving a Board to Its Potential
THE BOARD & EXECUTIVE RELATIONSHIP: A Leveraged Partnership in Service to Others
LEADERSHIP SUCCESSION PLANNING: Assuring a Continuity of Leadership for Your Organization
THE BOARD & FUNDRAISING: Building Community Equity for Sustainable Impact
CULTIVATING A GENERATIVE BOARD: Facilitating a Culture of Evolution and Innovation

If you would like more information about Board Chairs Academy, please contact Randy Brinson at rbrinson@thirdsectorcompany.com.

Thanks again for your interest in our program, and I hope that we may have the opportunity to be an even better resource to you in the future for your governance training and board development needs.

Third Sector Company, Inc. is committed to advancing justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion as foundational to its programs.

We acknowledge and honor the fundamental value and dignity of all people; and we pledge our individual and organizational efforts to build respect, dignity, caring, and equitable treatment for all. As an organization, we are committed to transforming the world into one that promotes social justice and freedom from oppression, including but not limited to, racism, sexism, classism, heterosexism, ageism, and ableism.

Thus, we aim to be adaptable, actively anti-racist, embracing cultural differences, and to be accessible for people who are differently resourced and differently abled. Since we do not want financial hardship to be a barrier to participation, there are several seats reserved in each of our fee-based programs for confidentially awarded scholarships. We encourage those from historically underserved communities to apply.
