# The Catapult Institute Workshop #1 – Strategically Building Your Board of Tomorrow

On Friday, February 28, we held our first Catapult Institute workshop of 2020, *Strategically Building Your Board of Tomorrow.* The workshop was facilitated by **[Susan Meier](https://boardsource.org/susan-meier/)**, Principal of Meier and Associates. Nonprofit executives and board members learned about the board building cycle, building a leadership pipeline, board member responsibilities, diversity and inclusion and much more. Susan energized the room and the workshop was very interactive. Not only did we learn from Susan, we learned from our peers during the Q&A sessions and table work. The conversations continued over lunch, during the Innovative Lab Lunch.
We look forward to the next workshop on April 24 ([***Social Entrepreneurship 101- How Nonprofit Organizations Use Entrepreneurial Thinking to Solve Social***](https://gruninfoundation.org/eventbrite/?event=91069777155)) and to continuing to navigate the 6 “C”s of Nonprofit Sea Change: Capacity, Curiosity, Conversation, Collaboration, Creativity, and Compassion.
