• Review PENS mission, goals and purpose
• Gain a shared understanding of basic responsibilities of nonprofit organizations and their leaders
• Discuss the financial responsibilities of a nonprofit organization
• Become acquainted with participant colleagues & learn what inspires others to volunteer
o Make recommendations to the board of any suggested change in the elections process.
The committee meets via conference call and in person at the annual conference.
