Current Board Openings
Where leadership extends beyond the role.
Board service is one of the deepest ways to contribute to the nonprofit sector. It asks you to show up with judgment, relationships, and a willingness to carry the mission alongside the team doing the work every day. Board Seats is where organizations in our community share those invitations with the professionals ready to answer them.
Why Board Service Matters
Strong boards build strong organizations. The right board member brings more than a title. They bring perspective, connections, and the patience to help shape something bigger than themselves. Every organization represented here is looking for that kind of partner.
For Professionals Considering Board Service
Board service is a meaningful commitment. Read each posting carefully. Look at what the organization does, what stage it is in, and what the board is being asked to contribute. A good match respects your time and the organization's mission in equal measure.
If you are newer to board service, this is a good place to begin exploring. Ask questions. Meet the current board. Spend time understanding the organization before you commit. The best board relationships start with curiosity and grow from there.
For Organizations Sharing a Seat
The Community Board is open to nonprofit organizations recruiting board members with intention. When you share a seat here, describe the skills, experience, and perspective you are hoping to welcome. The clearer you are, the easier it is for the right person to recognize themselves in the invitation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Board service is one of the deepest ways to contribute to the nonprofit sector, and it tends to raise questions. Here are the ones we hear most often, answered with the kind of honesty we would want if we were on the other side of the conversation.
-
Board service typically includes attending board meetings, participating in committees, contributing your specific expertise to organizational decisions, and supporting the organization's mission through your network, giving, or both. Every board is different, so the posting itself is the best place to understand what a particular seat will ask of you.
-
Readiness is less about years of experience and more about what you can bring, what you want to learn, and how seriously you are prepared to take the commitment. If you have the time, the judgment, and the willingness to serve the mission over your own agenda, you are closer to ready than you might think.
-
Most boards meet between four and twelve times a year, with committee work, preparation, and occasional events layered on top. Every posting on our board names the expected commitment so you can make a clear decision before you step into a conversation.
-
Each posting links directly to the organization. The conversation happens between you and the organization recruiting. We make the introduction through this page, and the rest is built through direct dialogue between you and the team you might be serving.
