Get on Board Windham County will be hosting its first-ever Meet Your Match event, a community volunteer fair specifically geared towards matching potential board members with nonprofits.
Windham County nonprofits are invited to sign up to have a table at the event. The cost is $35, and registration for nonprofits will close on April 27. Nonprofits should register at http://bit.ly/Board-Match.
Many local nonprofits are seeking to expand and diversify their boards. This event will afford them the opportunity to pitch volunteer service on their board to dedicated and skilled community members. In attendance will be the 2015 cohort of Get on Board Windham County Board Fellows, a group of young professionals who have completed a 20-hour board training course.
Community members interested in board service are encouraged to attend. The event will feature a brief introduction to nonprofit board work called “Everything You Need to Know about Board Service in 10 Minutes or Less.” Childcare and refreshments will be provided. Participation for prospective board members is free but pre-registration is encouraged, at http://bit.ly/Board-Match.
Meet Your Match will take place on Thursday, May 14, 5-7 pm at the Marlboro College Graduate Center. The event is organized by Get on Board Windham County, a partnership of Marlboro College Graduate & Professional Studies with Youth Services and United Way of Windham County.
