SUMMARY:The Board–Executive Director Partnership
DESCRIPTION:A strong relationship between a nonprofit board and its Executive Director is essential to an organization’s success. When board members and the Executive Director understand their roles\, communicate openly\, and work together effectively\, they can better advance the organization’s mission and serve their community. When roles become unclear or communication breaks down\, it can lead to frustration\, confusion\, and challenges for both leaders and staff.This session will explore the key elements of a healthy board–Executive Director partnership\, including the distinct roles of governance and management\, effective communication practices\, shared accountability\, executive evaluation\, and leadership succession planning. Participants will discuss common challenges\, learn practical strategies for building trust and collaboration\, and gain tools to help boards provide meaningful support while maintaining appropriate oversight.Whether you are a board member\, board chair\, Executive Director\, or aspiring nonprofit leader\, this session will offer practical insights and actionable ideas for strengthening one of the most important relationships in your organization.Participants will learn how to: \n\n\n\n\nDefine the roles of the board\, board chair\, and Executive Director.\n\n\n\nDifferentiate between governance and day-to-day management responsibilities.\n\n\n\nBuild stronger communication and working relationships between board and staff leadership.\n\n\n\nNavigate common board–Executive Director challenges.\n\n\n\nSupport effective Executive Director evaluation and development.\n\n\n\nPrepare for leadership transitions through succession planning.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Miss Representation • WIP Community Documentary Screening
DESCRIPTION:At the Scranton Area Community Foundation\, we believe strong communities are built through connection\, participation\, and shared purpose.Through our Women in Philanthropy initiative\, we invite you to join us for the third event in our 2026 Film Screening & Community Conversation Series. The evening will feature a screening of the powerful documentary\, Miss Representation.Miss Representation exposes how mainstream media and culture contribute to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America. The film draws back a curtain to reveal a glaring reality we live with every day but fail to see – how the media’s limited and often disparaging portrayals of women and girls make it difficult for women to feel powerful and achieve leadership positions.Following the screening\, our fireside chat will dive deeper into the film and explore the underrepresentation of women in positions of power and influence throughout our region. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here
