Transform Your Chamber’s Volunteer Leadership with Expert Board Training from Frank J. Kenny
Why Board Training is Essential:
Your chamber’s board of directors plays a pivotal role in steering your organization toward its goals. Ensuring that your board is well-trained and aligned is not just beneficial, it’s essential for sustained growth and community impact.
A well-trained board will:
- Ensure Financial Health: Implement best practices to manage and grow your chamber’s resources effectively.
- Enhance Decision-Making: Equip board members with the knowledge to make informed, strategic decisions.
- Mitigate Risks: Understand and fulfill fiduciary duties to protect the chamber’s integrity and reputation.
Attention Chamber Presidents/CEOs: Neglecting to provide comprehensive training for your board of directors places the financial future and career success of your chamber’s staff in uncertain hands. Without proper training, board members are more likely to foster a toxic or unhealthy environment, leading to high staff turnover, decreased morale, and diminished productivity. The stakes are too high to ignore board training—ensuring your board is knowledgeable and united is crucial for fostering a positive, productive workplace where everyone can succeed.
Attention Board Chairs: Failing to provide comprehensive training for your board of directors can lead to devastating consequences for your chamber. Without proper training, your board may make critical missteps that could cause the chamber to falter during your tenure. Don’t let inadequate training undermine your leadership and the stability of your chamber—investing in board training is essential to ensure robust governance, legal compliance, and sustained success under your guidance.

Feedback on Frank's work with chambers...
After a decade of doing things the same way, our President/CEO and myself brought in Frank Kenny for a two-day board retreat.
One of our board directors sent me this email after the retreat “All I can say is WOW & THANK YOU! The board retreat was amazing and very productive.”
We truly appreciate having an opportunity to work with someone who has the knowledge and experience necessary to guide a board like ours toward change. You are truly awesome Frank!
