Your board of trustees is made up of individuals responsible for overall governance of a nonprofit. There is no rule or guideline on who can be a trustee, so anyone can serve. What makes a successful board member? Check out this blog post on what makes a successful nonprofit board member and learn more about the following factors to consider:

  • Experience

  • Commitment

  • Fundraising

Board members are also invaluable in identifying potential donors to your organization. As natural partners, they can aid in setting up meetings and create authentic opportunities for others to get involved in your organization.

Choosing a board member is a difficult decision, but one that is vital to the longevity and direction of your organization. Appoint an experienced, committed individual who wants to help fund raise to set your organization up for long term success.
