Community Connections To Host NESC Speaker This Month In Old Lyme

OLD LYME,CT – Community Connections is delighted to announce that Nancy Brennan will be the speaker at their next meeting on Wednesday, September 27. Brennan serves as Senior Vice President and Regional Director of the National Executive Service Corps (NESC), according to a release.

Brennan’s talk, ‘A Stronger Nonprofit Starts with a Stronger Board,’ relates to a critical topic for all non-profit organizations. (For more information on this and other neighborhood stories, subscribe to Patch to receive daily newsletters and breaking news alerts.)

No board is perfect, but understanding the necessary components to building boards that work effectively will improve the likelihood of success at your nonprofit. Without a strong board, a nonprofit’s fundraising, communication and outcomes can be stymied.

Brennan will discuss the ABC’s of basic nonprofit board governance, including some of the roadblocks to a high-functioning board, and examples of how strong nonprofit boards have chosen to successfully address these issues. Guests will leave with ideas to help improve their nonprofit board.

The Community Connections luncheon will be held at the Old Lyme Country Club (40 McCurdy Road) from 12 to 1:30 p.m. All are welcome, however advance registration is required.

Walk-ins will be accepted if space permits. There is a $25 charge, which includes lunch.
