GWP is pleased to offer our community foundation members two options in 2016 to participate in a two-day Community Foundation Boot Camp. This program offers a comprehensive overview of the structure and operations of a community foundation. The program is an ideal in-depth introduction to community foundations for new community foundation staff, community foundation board members, or more experienced community foundation staff looking for a good refresher.
Praise from Past Boot Camp Participants
“Our board chairman said ‘I learned some things I didn't know about community foundations, but more importantly I learned what we are doing well.’ "
~Wegi Stewart, CEO, Community Foundation of Macon County (Illinois)
“This training was well received by all my board members…. Even those who had been on the board over 6 years felt that they learned a lot and it was a good use of their time. I even had three board members attend this training TWICE!”
~Judy Johnson, Executive Director, Washington County Community Foundation (Indiana)
“Over 80% of my current board attended this training and they were so glad they did! It really opened their eyes to everything the community foundation does and can do in our community!”
~Ashley Bice, Executive Director, Benton Community Foundation (Indiana)
