Board Service

Why consider joining a Board of Directors?

​Joining a nonprofit board can be a rewarding and valuable experience because you have the chance to apply your skills to improve the operations of an organization and implement real change where you want to see it or think it is needed. With just a few hours of commitment a month, board members maximize their impact by contributing ideas to the strategic planning or reorganization of a nonprofit's essential processes. Board service can also be a tremendous tool for learning other skills and developing leadership. Many board members find that they participate in fulfilling ways that are different from what they normally do in their professional life. In addition, becoming a board member is a powerful way to grow your network of resources and contacts and build new relationships.
