Here is what Sachika had to say about BOLD:
"As a staff member of a non-profit, the Board often feels like an inaccessible, enigmatic, and sometimes intimidating structure. Despite being strongly connected to a couple non profit organizations, I have never been quite sure of how to connect with the board -- and never considered that I could serve on one.
All of this changed through the Board Orientation + Leadership Development program by Leadership Council for Nonprofits. I participated in informative training and virtual sessions, deepening my expertise in the areas of: legal and fiduciary responsibilities, fundraising, strategic planning, succession planning, and assessment for nonprofit boards.
I learned that my character strengths include: an appreciation for beauty and excellence, a love of learning, and bravery. I also learned that age is not a qualification for board service; it’s the passion, expertise, and connections that you bring to the table that matter."
