Create Winning Boards: Find the Right Fit

Serving on a non-profit board involves a solid level of commitment from both the board member and the organization.  Individuals considering board service should be:

• able to make a specific time commitment
• informed about the mission, policies and programs of the non-profit
• prepared to review materials before meetings
• willing to serve on committees
• willing to make a financial contribution

On the flip side, in addition to recruiting people who can help organizations meet their goals, non-profits can benefit from being clear about the qualities / qualifications they need, and be able to clearly share them with prospective Board candidates.  It pays to be upfront about their expectations, to avoid future issues/miscommunications.  Timely follow through and support also always crucial, and helps everyone to keep on track.

No matter which side of this selection process you’re on, it’s all about finding the right fit!
