ABOUT BUSINESS ON BOARD

We believe that successful nonprofits require healthy, thriving boards of directors. To that end, the A&BC’s Business on Board program has been providing board service training as well as board development consulting resources for executives since 2002. More than ever, cultural nonprofits need strong boards of directors with passionate, engaged members who share a vision for the organization.

Each year we provide more than a dozen open enrollment and in-house corporate trainings to 250+ Boston-area executives. Our open enrollment seminars are called Get on Board! and are offered regularly throughout the year. Visit our Events Calendar to learn more about upcoming sessions.

Nonprofit organizations need talented and engaged business leaders who can help guide their efforts to serve their constituents and communities. While many professionals are interested in board service, they often lack the training needed to make the next step. Business on Board works to remove the barriers between interest and engagement through our open enrollment workshops. We also provide custom engagements for corporations as well as consulting services for nonprofits.

“Your Business on Board seminar was smart, insightful, comprehensive, and offered confidence-building steps for those of us who can drive but struggle finding a good map to our destination—thank you for that. The social aspect of board relationships was a new idea to me, and it really was a revelation for me going forward in the hopes of being a better board member and leader.” –Ken Yagoda

Open Enrollment Workshops

Designed for both executives and nonprofit administrators, these half-day workshops cover the future of philanthropy, board governance and dynamics, financial oversight, strategic planning, legal and fiduciary responsibilities, fundraising and development strategies, and how to find the right match.
