How can you get on a charity board?

November 2nd, 2009

To get on a charity board, you generally have to be recruited by well, that charity’s board. One of the responsibilities of board members is to find and recruit new board members – usually they look for people who bring needed skills, enthusiasm, and influence to the organization. Celebrities are sometimes asked to be board members because they bring attention to that charity, while others are asked because skills from their professional life or other experiences can benefit the charity. Some might be asked simply because they have given lots of money and have demonstrated a true interest in the cause. In essence, there are many ways to a nonprofit board, any of which require determination, interest, dedication, and a bit of money wouldn’t do any harm either.
