Time:
9:00 am - 6:00 pm
Location:
University of Calgary downtown campus
908 8 Ave SW
Haskayne School of Business
Classroom:  HSB DTC636 (6th Floor)
Speaker:
Rita Egizii and Bill Brendan will be delivering the workshop.  Both are certified facilitators who will be presenting a modified version of the Government of Alberta’s Culture and Community Services Board Development Program. 

The Haskayne School of Business and the Rozsa Foundation invite you to join us for the inaugural session of Classroom to Boardroom – a community engagement program which aims to match Haskayne students and graduates with local art not-for-profit boards.

The program’s objective is to provide a seamless extension of community involvement for the Haskayne student – an incentive to enroll in courses that contain an interaction with arts community which then culminates in a real opportunity to serve on a local art not-for-profit board.

Outcome:

Upon completion of the workshop, participants will work with the Rozsa Foundation who will match participants with an appropriate art not-for-profit organization looking to recruit new board members.

Who is the pilot project targeting?

  • Haskayne students or alumni who are enrolled in, or have completed, the MGST 597 directed study in Marketing/Auditing for Arts Administrators and/or MKTG 559 (Arts and Culture Marketing).
  • Haskayne student leaders and alumni who are interested in learning about non-profit governance with a specific interest in art organization boards.
  • Note:  previous board experience is not required.

What is it?

A hands-on non-credit (extracurricular) workshop which introduces the basics of not-for-profit governance.  An 8-hour ‘not-for-profit board governance 101 course’ which introduces best practices that will prepare and enhance the ‘board readiness’ of students and young alumni. 

 

Limited space available.
