[DODD CITY] Empower Texoma Symposium

The Empower Texoma Symposium Series is a quarterly regional training initiative designed to support nonprofit organizations across the Texoma region. Each symposium rotates host locations among Fannin, Grayson, Bryan, and Marshall Counties to ensure accessibility throughout the area. The series was established to provide high-quality professional development opportunities focused on the unique challenges and operational needs commonly faced by nonprofits serving the Texoma community.

Struggling with board engagement, accountability, or fundraising? You’re not alone. Many nonprofits in Texoma are operating with boards that are either too hands-off, or too involved in the wrong ways. This session, From Strategy to Governance, breaks down 10 practical board practices that help you:

• Get board members actively engaged (without chasing them)
• Clarify roles between board and staff
• Build a board that actually supports fundraising
• Reduce burnout by sharing responsibility the right way

You’ll leave with clear, actionable steps you can implement immediately, not just theory. Designed specifically for small and mid-sized nonprofits in rural communities, this training addresses the real challenges you’re facing right now.
