BOARD COACH EXPECTATIONS

Board Coaches partner with RVLDP Interns to guide them through their board training experience in these ways:

Prior to the Board Training Experience

• Participate in the RVLDP Board Training Organization Fair for the current class. This provides the coach and the prospective interns an opportunity to begin to know one another.
• Be open to contact from RVLDP Interns during the month following the fair.

During the Board Training Experience

• Establish guidelines and boundaries for the intern's participation in board/committee meetings.
• Brief the intern prior to board meetings, providing an agenda, background on the topics to be discussed and expected strategies. Debrief the intern following the meeting.
• Provide support, guidance, and encouragement in board committee or task force work.

After the Board Training Experience

• Conduct a verbal evaluation with the intern and provide feedback to the RVLDP director.
