Building Representative Boards
& Board Organizational Preparedness
Through these programs, we aim to engage a diverse group of individuals that represent historically excluded and untapped communities and make an impact by helping to bring this valuable lived experience into the nonprofit board room.
About the Programs
Individual participants in the complimentary Building Representative Boards program come together monthly as a cohort, acquiring a strong foundation in the principles of effective board governance while building community with peers.
Meet the participants! Cohort 1 | Cohort 2 | Cohort 3
At the same time, Board Organizational Preparedness provides organizational training that is rooted in IDEAL (inclusion, diversity, equity, access, and liberation) principles to nonprofits that can demonstrate their readiness to engage a wider representation of candidates in board service and work to diminish cultures and practices that have historically done harm.
The program concludes with a board matching event* where the Building Representative Boards cohort and Board Organizational Preparedness organizations can connect and explore the possibility of working together to further their collective community impact.
*The board matching event is exclusive to those who have committed to and completed the IDEAL training portion of Board Organizational Preparedness, demonstrating readiness to foster an inclusive board culture.
