The Comox Valley Community Foundation is offering a new professional development opportunity for non-profits and registered charitable organizations in the Comox Valley: a two-part Governance Training Workshop April 9 and 23.
For the third year, the Comox Valley Community Foundation (CVCF) has dedicated funds to support professional development initiatives. Last year, an overwhelming number of professional development grant requests were focused on improving governance.
In response, Comox Valley Community Foundation has hired local governance expert Jon Pascoe, an associate with “The Governance Group,” to deliver a two-part workshop customized for local charities.
“Comox Valley charitable organizations play an essential role in creating a better future for all in the Valley,” said CVCF president Matt Beckett. “We all benefit from the passion and talents of the many employees and volunteers who work tirelessly to make the Comox Valley better.”
The Comox Valley Community Foundation recognizes that many organizations’ resources are stretched to the maximum. Often the most critical need they have is greater support and training for their board, staff and volunteers. This year the CVCF has dedicated professional development funds to help improve the overall strength of the charitable organizations for up to 64 participants.
