BoardServe Workshops to Be Offered this Month in Ridgefield

The Ridgefield Library and the Ridgefield Chamber of Commerce are pleased to announce that they have teamed up with The Volunteer Center of United Way of Western Connecticut to bring the Center’s respected BoardServe training sessions to Ridgefield this month.

On Wednesday, March 18 from 9:00 AM to noon, staff from nonprofit agencies will be prepared to recruit, engage and utilize new board members. A separate session on Saturday, March 28 from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM trains potential board candidates and new board members in nonprofit governance so they possess the skills and experience that nonprofits seek in new board members. A light breakfast will be served at both sessions, and lunch is provided for the board candidate session on the 28th.  Both sessions will be held at the Library at 472 Main Street in Ridgefield.

“There is a modest charge for attending these sessions,” notes Library Assistant Director Mary Rindfleisch, who is active with the Chamber’s Nonprofit Council. “But the investment should pay off handsomely in improved and invigorated board functioning for Ridgefield’s nonprofit organizations.  In a town like ours, where so many services are provided by agencies with volunteer boards of directors, it is crucial that these organizations have access to high-quality training such as BoardServe to help build their capacity and fulfill their mission.”

Further information about BoardServe and registration for the Ridgefield sessions should be made through The Volunteer Center of United Way of Western Connecticut online at http://uwwesternct.galaxydigital.com/boardserve/.  Please contact Casey Levene at
