Board Leadership - Orientation

We are excited to announce our partnership with ACT for Alexandria and the Sorkin Center at Compass to support Alexandria nonprofit boards. The On Board program provides the opportunity for professionals to give back to the local community on a substantive level. On Board matches professionals to local nonprofits that need qualified board members, facilitates joining the board, and successfully participating as board members.
This is an orientation to learn more about the process and matching.
