What People Are Saying:

As the Executive Director working for a volunteer engaged and skilled board, I am always on the lookout to support them through their own professional development. Community Futures British Columbia recently purchased the UpCloseTeam board modules and started by presenting the module on risk assessment. The module was very well received by the entire Board so moving forward we will be doing one module at the beginning of each board meeting. The video presentations in conjunction with the handouts and the tools assist in the actual implementation of the learning into operations. Thank you UpCloseTeam

Viewing 2 modules of the "Success Principles of Great Board", series while receiving one-on-one training with the UpCloseTeam provided me with a better understanding of how Good Boards can become Great Boards. I have also been able to utilize this training in my work and personal life. Thank You/Merci Beaucoup UpCloseTeam

I know my (board) team got a lot from the day which was where we really want this Board moving. From feedback, I do believe we are going to be buying your (Success Principles of Great Boards) modules.
