Federated Network
Thank you for the important work that you do.
Federated networks — nonprofits with chapters or affiliates — have reach that extends into communities around the country, and perhaps even around the globe. As such, you have the opportunity to see — within your network — the difference that it makes when organizations have strong and strategic boards — and when they don’t.
As you’ve likely noticed within your network, boards are grappling with big challenges. They need help understanding their roles and responsibilities. They need support as they work to strengthen their performance in critical areas like fundraising and financial oversight. And they need expert guidance that will give them the confidence to provide strong and steady leadership during critical organizational challenges and transitions.
If you’re like most federated networks, you are looking for ways to help support your chapters or affiliates and their board leadership development. And BoardSource is ready to be your partner in that effort.
We provide scalable supports that enable you to extend reliable, consistent board leadership resources to your network. If you can’t find what you’re looking for or are interested in having a conversation about how best to do that, we encourage you to reach out to us at [email protected].
