BoardSource provides consultants with a membership program that enables you to tap into BoardSource’s knowledge and expertise to strengthen your practice and support nonprofit leaders.
Membership Program for Consultants
Nonprofits are under a lot of pressure today, as they look for ways to increase their impact in a constantly changing environment and come to understand that this requires strong, strategic leadership. Who do they call for guidance? Consultants with expertise in nonprofit governance. BoardSource’s membership program for consultants is designed to provide you with that expertise.
Our consultant members have a desire to see nonprofits succeed. They understand that strong boards are the foundation on which successful nonprofits are built. And they are committed to providing nonprofit clients with the guidance and information they need to succeed. Do you share this passion for helping nonprofits and their boards overcome challenges? We think you do, and that’s why we’ve designed a program specifically for consultants. We are here to help, and look forward to partnering with you.
