It begins with an opening retreat in Galveston, followed by seven, monthly full-day sessions covering Board Governance, Organizational Assessment, Strategic Planning, Human Capital – Staff & Volunteers, Fund-development, Nonprofit Finance and more. The ENL program concludes with a capstone and graduation ceremony.
