Calling On Young & Emerging Local Leaders

A new program called Board Bootcamp is set to launch in January of 2023. This four-session training is designed to equip professionals in Kankakee and Iroquois Counties with the skills and knowledge to serve effectively on nonprofit boards.

Board Bootcamp will cover diverse aspects of board service – broken down to be simple and easy to understand. Attendees will hear from current nonprofit board members, network with community leaders, and learn how they can best contribute to the enhancement of our local nonprofit organizations.

Board Bootcamp is set to kick off its inaugural cohort on January 17th, 2024, continuing on January 31st, February 14th, and concluding February 28th. Sessions will take place from 8-9:30 AM at Riverside Medical Center's Johnson Lecture Hall. Cost per-participant is only $40 for all four sessions.
