Tips for Successful Board Recruitment

  1. Evaluate who you need on your board

    What skills, traits and identities do you need on your board? Do you want retirees who have more time or do you need young parents who have more connections with your clientele?

  2. Provide excellent resources

    Make sure that your board members know what their responsibilities are and what tasks you would like them to accomplish.
