Spring Special Event!
Creating High Performing Boards
More than ever before, boards must learn how to seamlessly partner in leadership with their CEO and senior staff in pursuit of excellence. Great boards are a strategic asset to the organizations they serve, by providing critical thinking that transcends the current day's activities, and considers the organization's strategic focus, long-term success, viability, and sustainability. This interactive session will showcase what the best boards do to ensure exceptional governance - by asking more insightful questions that lead to more meaningful dialogues that translate into better strategies and more thoughtful decisions.
 Presenter: Cathy Trower, nationally recognized author, speaker and consultant; President, Trower & Trower, Inc.
(For Executive Directors, Board members and consultants)
Tuesday, May 5, 8:00 to 11:30 a.m.

Change in Registering for NSP Events!
In order to use all of the philanthropic tools at its disposal, to support our mission and goals, the Hartford Foundation is now registered as a lobbyist with the CT Office of State Ethics.
To help us manage our obligations under the state rules, from now on when you register for our events, we will ask you to indicate whether you are a public official, state employee, or immediate family member (spouse, child or dependent relative) of a state employee. If you do not fit into one of these categories, simply disregard the question.
