Thu, 17 December, 2015 Class of 2015 Completes Cenla Boardbuilders Program Ten graduates join alumni of CDW program Ten Central Louisiana nonprofit leaders recently graduated from Cenla Boardbuilders, a leadership development program for emerging leaders to become active as members of local nonprofit boards. Through Cenla Boardbuilders, a program of Community Development Works, participants are trained through a series of sessions on the roles and responsibilities of an effective board member. Two learning tracks are available: Track I, for newly seated board members with limited service experience who are seeking training only; and Track II, for individuals with no previous board service who are seeking training and help to connect with local nonprofits. Employer partners participate in the program by allowing their employee time off during work hours to attend training sessions and board meetings. Nonprofit partners connect with Cenla Boardbuilders graduates to offer board service opportunities.
