Get On Board
Board Matching Program
FOR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS
Get On Board connects REALIZE Board trained professionals with established, local nonprofits. Local nonprofits must have been established within the last five years, demonstrate a need for new Board members in 2024 and beyond, and a commitment to board development through new community leadership. All board prospects must demonstrate a commitment to serving on a nonprofit board, and all that it entails.
