5 Reasons Why Training is Important
- Training can level the playing field. If someone wants to volunteer for a board position but is unsure of what might be required, training can clarify the expectations.
- Training provides people the chance to assess their own skill level. How well do you know what is being taught?
- Training allows even seasoned leaders an opportunity to gain a new nugget of information and “remember” an important concept or idea that they had “forgotten”.
- Training provides people a platform to share real-world things they have learned with other participants.
- Training gives leaders the knowledge and skills to optimally run an independent, nonprofit corporation.
Bonus: Sometimes training can be added to your résumé as professional development.
