Zoom Webinar
In the current environment, many nonprofits are struggling to meet client demand and need extra support. Joining a board can be an important opportunity to provide assistance. Cynthia will highlight how to search for nonprofit board positions. This webinar will cover what to carefully consider whether you are exploring board service on your own or working with BoardAssist. Cynthia will also be available to connect with you individually after this webinar to personally match you with a nonprofit board, even if you are not able to attend the webinar.
Interested in joining a nonprofit board but not sure where to start? What should you think about before joining a board? How do you find the right board for you? In addition to the obvious questions about the mission of an organization, we work closely with our board candidates to make sure other important variables that are important to them are addressed as well. From the size of the organization and cultural fit, to expected financial commitment and location, we are focused on finding a perfect long term match. This webinar will cover what to carefully consider whether you are exploring board service on your own or working with us.
Join us for an exclusive webinar for Columbia Business School alumni. Interested business school alumni will be personally matched with a nonprofit board from BoardAssist's long list of clients serving all interest areas. There is no fee for this service, as BoardAssist is a nonprofit themselves.
Can't attend the webinar? BoardAssist, New York's leading personalized nonprofit board matching service, will still happily work with you. Just contact us at info@boardassist.org, download our free book on board service, Giving Back, or watch our Top Ten Tips for Finding a Perfect Nonprofit Board.
