    *Due to the facilitator’s availability, the final session will be held on May 19, which is the third Tuesday of May 2026. 

  • Sessions are not recorded, and participants are highly encouraged to attend each one. The material is presented in an institute format where each session builds into the next. Should a participant need to miss a session, they should notify the staff liaison.

  • There is a cost of $50 which covers the price of participant materials. Once selected members confirm their participation, they will receive an invoice via email which must be paid before the first session. 

  • No. This program is intended to teach core governance and nonprofit board principles applicable to any organization; however, participants will also gain insight into how those principles are practiced in Tri Sigma. 

  • All alumnae interested in learning more about serving on a nonprofit board are encouraged to apply! 

  • To help ensure as many alumnae as possible have access to this opportunity, 2023-24 participants are not able to join the 2025-26 cohort at this time. Please note that this cohort will not cover any new information. 

  • Selected applicants will be notified via email in early September 2025.
