Strong leaders make for strong organizations. While County nonprofit organizations are seeking great leaders to serve on their boards of directors, local leaders are eager to lend their expertise to benefit our community. Leadership Montgomery and Nonprofit Montgomery are pleased to team up to launchBoardMatch Montgomery, a program that will prepare and match leaders for service on nonprofit boards.
We will kick off our program this fall with a pair of trainings developed by Capacity Partners–one for potential board candidates and one for nonprofits seeking new board members. Participants in these trainings will be eligible to participate in a high-touch matching process that will jumpstart the relationship between existing boards and board candidates.
