3 reasons membership makes sense:
Reason #1

Whitepapers, articles, research

Wouldn’t it be useful if you could have at your fingertips the resources, tips, and tools to make you an even better and more informed board member? Our association partners with content experts in everything from governance, leadership skills on boards, and all the other functional aspects board directors need to get the most of their experience.

Reason #3

Supporting nonprofit governance excellence

Volunteer board service shouldn’t be a second job. It should be about the passion that leads the best leaders of our society to volunteer their leadership skills for the many causes, industries, and professions of nonprofit and associations who need their guidance. Yet, board directors have important fiduciary responsibilities. We believe it’s up to board directors themselves to foster better governance and an enriched volunteer experience.
By supporting our association, you leave the world with stronger leadership for nonprofits everywhere.
Nonprofit board members from around the world are joining! Here’s just a sample of what some are saying…
There are some great organizations out there for governance advice but until the Society of NonProfit Board Directors came about, there was nothing specifically for where Board Directors of nonprofits could meet and get a better understanding of what other board members have found works.
Nothing out there exists quite like the Society of NonProfit Board Directors. Other organizations can claim to help board directors but none have a membership exclusively for nonprofit boards. As a board member for 3 different associations close to the industry, I’m involved, I value making connections across other nonprofits I wouldn’t otherwise meet.
This is the place to connect with other nonprofit board directors and for you to be a better one as well!
Members of our association are from all over the world and from a cross-section of many nonprofits, foundations, associations, and charitable boards.
