The Perks of Joining a Non-Profit Board

February 13, 2017 by ITA Staff

Here’s Why Joining a Non-Profit Board Could Be Your Richest Experience Yet

As Non-Profit Expert and Consultant Joan Garry recently pointed out , there may be some presumptions and myths about what it means to join a non-profit board or about what is required to join a non-profit board. She debunks them, beautifully, and then offers a top ten list of items that detail what it really means to join a non-profit board. (There are no drawbacks).

Taking only a shallow dive into the list, we learn that there is so much to be learned: patience, how to ask for money, how to play nicely with others, to appreciate that assets equals liabilities, and how to run an effective meeting (with non-employees). These are all concepts that a board residence can teach, and they’re all concepts that can be applied in layers to various areas of one’s life, from work to school to non-profit membership itself.

Other highlights of joining a non-profit board include the ever-important resume enrichment, the ever-sought-after new connections, a diversified routine, and intellectual muscle-stretching and spurting emotional intelligence.  For the full article, click here.
