Let's Break Down the Basics of Nonprofits & Board Roles

Associate Board Insider

It sounds like you're looking for a beginner-friendly approach to understanding nonprofits and associate boards. Let's clarify some basics:

● Nonprofit Organizations: These organizations are formed to benefit the public good rather than to make a profit. They have a mission to address social causes and serve communities.

● Associate Boards: These boards are groups of individuals, often younger professionals, who support a nonprofit's work. They are distinct from governing boards, which have legal and fiduciary responsibilities for the organization.

The podcast episode we discussed aims to introduce listeners to these concepts. It highlights the benefits of joining an associate board, like gaining leadership skills and expanding your network. The episode also provides a step-by-step guide to finding and securing a position.
