With a wealth of knowledge and a lifetime of experience, Cheryl Taylor of Taylor Leadership elegantly shares with us thoughtful and actionable steps to create a high-performing nonprofit board of directors. Cheryl has immense experience in the nonprofit sector, having been the President and CEO of the Foellinger Foundation for 20 years. She has cultivated and engaged with hundreds of high-performing boards and is here today to share her wisdom with us.
