Are you interested in volunteering to serve on a nonprofit board but don't know where to start? Are you serving on a board and could use a refresher? 

Have you been wondering how you can make a difference in your community? Board service is a great way to give back by giving your skills and experience to help a nonprofit that serves a cause or community you care about. It is a position with intrinsic rewards that can also provide opportunities for personal and professional development, allowing you to develop new skills, broaden your network and become a leader in your community. 

Becoming a board member is also serious business and carries with it a significant level of responsibility. It is very important that current and prospective board members be aware of the responsibilities and expectations associated with serving on a nonprofit board. 

In this workshop, Barbara Paxton, Director of BoardStrong, will discuss why you should consider board services and what it means to serve on the Board of Directors of a nonprofit organization. She will also give you advice about what to consider when you are selecting a board, how to find a board that matches your interests, and show you how to find the right board using our free, one-of-a-kind board matching platform.

BoardStrong's mission is to assist nonprofit organizations in achieving the highest standards of board leadership, governance and oversight. We do this by providing nonprofit board training, consultation and providing educational resources. We also have an online recruitment platform that helps organizations seeking new board members find talented board candidates from outside their networks.

BoardStrong is an affiliate of the New York Council of Nonprofits (NYCON).

Recruiting new board members is one of the most important tasks for a nonprofit organization. It is also one of the most challenging. Finding a diverse, talented group of individuals willing to contribute the Time, Talent and Treasure to your organization can seem like an overwhelming challenge, especially if you are looking outside of the personal connections of your current board members. 

Join BoardStrong Director Barbara Paxton for a session on recruiting board members and a demonstration of the BoardStrong board matching platform. The session will start with a brief introduction to the board development cycle, followed by an in-depth look at
the platform with tips for using it to effectively recruit new board members.
