<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">There is ONE WEEK(ish) left to get the best price possible for attending the
<a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/OHC/docs/2019_Heritage_Summit_Scholarship.pdf">
2019 Oregon Heritage Summit</a>. The early bird rate ends April 4 and the rate will increase from $85 to $110.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">We know that learning about how to build a better board is a bit like eating broccoli but we PROMISE that a strong board yields better results for the important heritage work you are doing
in your community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">The 2019 Heritage Summit digs deeply into the theory and practice of great boards- what a good board looks like, how every board needs to reflect the individual purpose and community it
serves, and how organizations can build and sustain a strong board team. Strong board leadership is vital to the ability of an organization to meet its mission. Yet, like all non-profits, heritage organizations have a million competing priorities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">We know heritage organizations rely on a mix of paid and unpaid (often all-volunteer) workers to fulfill their missions. We know the real capacity concerns organizations have when they
are giving it their all to keep the doors open and the lights. We also know that it might feel like your organization doesn’t have extra time to devote to board recruitment and training. Like eating your broccoli, making adjustments to board governance procedures
may not always be the most appealing thing on your plate! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Yet, like broccoli, good governance is fundamental to an organization’s health. We’re confidently making the case that board procedures matter and that your organization should carve out
the time to attend the 2019 Heritage Summit. Here are a couple reasons why:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

</span></span></span><![endif]><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Board members don’t just magically know what to do. Making informed decisions, conducting strategic planning and fulfilling high-level oversight takes training.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">The point? Eat your broccoli--attend the 2019 Heritage Summit! Leave with concrete ideas to apply to your organizations when you get home.
