Successful partnership: Jewish community professionals and lay leadership/boards

Join a Virtual Training Workshop on Wednesday 7 December 2022, 11:00-12:30 CET with David Goldberg

About

  • Who is in charge of your organisation?
  • Are the roles and responsibilities of professionals and lay leaders/boards clear?
  • How can we improve the relationship to help us meet our organisational goals?

Working with lay leaders/boards can be extremely rewarding and, at the same time, extremely challenging. Professionals and lay leaders have expectations of each other that are sometimes misaligned and inhibit organisational achievements.

In this interactive workshop we will:

  1. Start to think about some of the principles that guide a good lay/professional relationship
  2. Look at some successful and unsuccessful models
  3. Come away with some practical suggestions on how to move the conversation forward in our own organisations

To help you get as much from this interactive workshop as possible, participants are requested to join from a computer rather than a mobile device and to turn on camera mode. We also advise you to update to the latest version of Zoom available.

Please note that this workshop will take place in English.
