USFWC Board of Directors Roles and Responsibilities is a fundamental board training that covers the governance obligations and fiduciary duties for serving on the board of directors. We will cover what the legal responsibilities are as well as dispell myths around what is required and what is a “best practice.” Open to those interested in joining the USFWC board of directors and nominees for the 2019 At-Large USFWC board elections.
