Get the most out of your service and make sure your nonprofit is efficient, effective, and ethical.
Do you currently serve on a nonprofit board, have been asked to serve on one, or would like to serve on one? If so, you probably have a lot of questions - how is a nonprofit different than a business, what are the benefits to me of serving on a board, how much of my time is required, will they expect me to contribute and to help them raise money? We'll answer these and many more questions to put your mind at ease. Serving on a nonprofit board can be a rewarding experience in many ways, and we want you to enjoy the experience rather than dread it.
