Non-Profit Board Essentials and Best Practices

A Local History Webinar from Wisconsin Historical Society

John Decker, President, Wisconsin Council for Local History

Survey results show that many historical societies, regardless of size or mission, are interested in development and training of board members. This program will review the actions needed to achieve and maintain affiliation with the Wisconsin Historical Society and to pass muster in an IRS audit of management practices. It will also present business advice and a set of best practices that will appeal to current and prospective board members.

The presenter is corporate attorney John Decker, who has served on non-profit boards for more than forty years. He is the president of the Wisconsin Council for Local History and a past president of the State Bar of Wisconsin and of three diverse affiliates of the Wisconsin Historical Society—the Wisconsin Association of Historic Preservation Commissions, the Mid-Continent Railway Historical Society, and the Evansville Grove Society.
