We work with over 100 regional nonprofits. Their work takes tremendous dedication and effort — that’s where Leaders On Board makes a difference.
Leaders On Board helps nonprofits find new Board members (professionals/late-career & retirees) who bring their diverse perspectives, skills, and experiences to the important work of their organizations.
Learn about joining a nonprofit board from the comfort of your own home. All sessions will now be hosted via Zoom.
Leaders On Board’s Process
- APPLY: Individual candidates and nonprofits can apply using the buttons in the green block to the right.
- ORIENTATION: Attend a program where you learn about board governance and nonprofit organizational structure to prepare you as a candidate for board membership.
- EXPRESS MATCH: We hold Express Match events every month for approved participants. These events are akin to speed dating in that candidates can spend a few minutes chatting with each participating nonprofit to see if you both are a good match!
- LEAD: We then gather information on who the best matches seem to be, and the rest is history!
A Special Thanks:
Leaders on Board is a program created by Leadership Greater Hartford with support from the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving. To access additional services from our supporters, consider connecting with the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving and their Nonprofit Support Program.

"I was able to meet six organizations [that night] and learn about their needs and missions....The nonprofits were so passionate about their mission that I was drawn to all of them....Choosing my top choice was a challenge."

"By introducing me to Girls on the Run, LGH has given me an environment where I work with talented people that I may not have interacted with otherwise. This also gave me the opportunity to further develop important skills that I learned from the Leaders on Board program and make a difference in the lives of girls in our community. As I learned more about Girls on the Run, I was inspired to participate in one of its fundraisers-SoleMates."
