Is Your Chapter a NAIFA Certified Leadership Board?

Written by Justi Folladori | 3/4/26 2:00 PM

If not, then join NAIFA's Chapter Management Director, Tom Ashley, on March 19! The NAIFA Certified Leadership Board designation is awarded to NAIFA Chapters upon completion of a live presentation of NAIFA’s 90-minute training program entitled “Empowering Chapter Leaders” by the President, President-Elect, and at least 80% of the Chapter’s Board.

Empowering Chapter Leaders, our Board certification program, covers: 

  • Understanding psychological motivations for serving on Boards and how to get the best out of your Board members.
  • Legal duties of a Board.
  • Aligning the Board to the Strategic Plan.
  • Effectively employing and engaging professional association staff.
  • Keys to a healthy board culture.
  • Board and self-evaluation checklists for continuous improvement.

Can't make it in March? There are three additional chances to become professionally certified - June 11, September 17 and December 17. Set your Chapter up for success TODAY and become a NAIFA Certified Leadership Board!
