Welcome onBoard!

This is your ‘one stop’ site to help you as a community legal clinic board member fulfill your governance role.

 

The site has been designed by the members of the Board Supports Working Group (BSWG), a group of volunteer board members just like yourself. We are committed to providing our fellow board members with the tools, training and education they need to effectively govern.

What's New:

BSWG Now Offers Downloadable Webcasts!

What's Happening:

The BSWG recently received new funding to allow it to continue into a new phase of board member learning! 


However, to keep our governance training material relevant, interested clinic board members are always needed to sit on the BSWG or to volunteer in some other capacity.  If you would like to learn more about joining the BSWG and helping to make clinic board governance better than ever - click here!
