Nonprofit Speed Matching connects people in the community who are interested in serving on nonprofit boards with nonprofits seeking qualified board or board committee members. Nonprofit boards provide the opportunity to become more deeply involved with an issue or program you care about while investing in your community and the people who live in it, collaborating with others who share your values and interests, broadening your leadership skills, and expanding your personal and professional networks.
How Nonprofit Speed Matching works:
• Community members and nonprofits register & complete a short application. (It's easy, we promise!)
• Prior to the event, potential board member registrants will be sent the websites & mission statements of the participating nonprofits. This information allows registrants to familiarize themselves with each participating nonprofit.
• Attendees will interact with nonprofits matching their passions in 6-minute rounds.
• After the Speed Matching is over, attendees will have 30 minutes to mix & mingle over refreshments with participating nonprofits to follow up & exchange contact information.
Benefits to Community Members include the ability to create a positive impact by contributing enthusiasm and expertise to an organization that needs help addressing community needs; the opportunity to engage with like-minded individuals toward a common goal; ability to broaden professional and leadership skills while learning about nonprofit governance; and, expansion of personal and professional networks in the community.
Benefits to Nonprofits include access to enthusiastic, skilled, and diverse candidates who want to make a difference in the community; reduced time and resources spent on recruiting board members–resulting in improved organizational efficiency in filling leadership needs; and, exposure to candidates outside of the “usual” recruiting circles.
This registration is for NONPROFITS only!
Note, available space for nonprofit organizations is extremely limited!
Preference may be given to smaller nonprofits if space becomes an issue.
