Are you interested in volunteering to serve on a nonprofit board?
Already on a board, but want to brush up on the basics?
Board service is rewarding for many reasons. The appeal of giving your time, talent and treasure to a nonprofit that serves a cause or community that you care about has its own intrinsic reward. In addition, board members are leaders and can expect professional growth, networking opportunities and perhaps even a certain level of recognition in the community.
Please join us on September 24 for this free workshop on the roles and responsibilities
of nonprofit board members.
Board service is serious business and carries with it a significant level of responsibility. It is not a position to be taken lightly, so it is very important that current or prospective board members be fully aware of the responsibilities, the performance expectations, and the opportunities associated with serving on the board of a nonprofit.
Governance Matters can help empower you with the education, tools and resources necessary to be the most effective board member possible and also connect you with the “right” nonprofit match. In this workshop, Barbara Paxton, Chief Program Officer of Governance Matters will walk you through the steps of what it means to serve on the Board of Directors of a nonprofit organization.

We will experience the flavor and charm of this neighborhood with treats along the way including the surprising location of an Andy Warhol studio. On our stroll we pass places of interest that will include: Budapest Café, Czech Consulate, Orwashers Bakery, Schaller & Weber, Suburban Hook & Ladder Company No. 13, and the Hungarian Cultural Center.

Modern Conversations Series
Marcel Breuer:
Building Global Institutions
Furniture designer, teacher and architect Marcel Breuer is celebrated for changing the American house after he emigrated in 1937 from Europe, where he had trained at the Bauhaus, to Harvard and then after 1946 to New York. But he changed as much the image of corporate America and of religious, educational, and governmental complexes around the globe from his contemporary commissions in the 1950s for St. John’s Abbey in Minnesota and the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris until his retirement from practice in the late 1970s.
Marcel Breuer: Building Global Institutions, edited by Barry Bergdoll and Jonathan Massey has just been published by Lars Müller Publishers of Zurich. Drawing on the recently digitized Breuer archive at Syracuse University, the volume includes chapters by ten different authors on facets of Breuer’s practice. Four of the authors will come together to discuss the book and the renewed appreciation for Breuer’s work and for so-called Brutalist architecture: Barry Bergdoll, Lucia Allais, Guy Nordenson, and Teresa Harris. The panel will be moderated by architectural historian Mary McLeod, Professor at Columbia University, who worked briefly in the Breuer office as a young architect. The book will be available for purchase through Rizzoli.
