There are many learning opportunities for new board members. These can include utilizing this website, purchasing books on board governance like Robert's Rules of Order, attending workshops/conferences or watching webinars offered by OSBA. They offer two multiple-day conferences each year. November is the annual event that celebrates it's 76th year in 2022. There is also a summer event every July. This is geared a little more toward new board members and superintendents. Listed below are links that may be helpful to new board members.
