BoardConnect is a nonprofit board training and matching service that builds the leadership skills of nonprofit and community members. We believe that training and matching go hand in hand. Individuals need to know their roles and responsibilities to be effective board members, and nonprofits need to plan carefully to build their boards. BoardConnect offers several separate training sessions: Serving on a Nonprofit Board, for individuals interested in board service; and Building Your Board, for nonprofit staff and board members seeking to add new members. Additional sessions include Getting Your Board to Raise Money and Committees That Work. For those organizations that would like a more customized session to suit your specific needs, consider scheduling Achieving Excellence as a Nonprofit Board.

• Getting Your Board To Raise Money
  • This session will teach Executive Directors and Development Staff how to get their board to start raising money.  Let's face it, most nonprofit board members do not like to ask for money.  Start by ensuring all board members are wonderful ambassadors and learn how to turn them into fundraisers.
