Finding the Right Board Members for Your Organization
Having the right board members is key to a nonprofit's success — and identifying prospective board members is a vital step in having the board that your organization deserves!
Serving on a board, like making a major gift, takes commitment and a deep understanding of the organization's mission. A key to success in finding prospective board members is approaching this process just like major gifts. Treat your key prospective board members like you would prospective major donors — and there should be plenty of those major-donor prospects in your prospective board pool.
