Benefits of Serving on a Board

Networking/Netweaving is an integral part of business. A great way to network is to serve on a community or non-profit board.

Large business meeting

What are the benefits of serving on a Board?

  • You’ll rub shoulders with leaders and influencers in your industry or community and new work opportunities might follow.
  • When you’re engaged in something other than your work, people’s perception of you changes. There’s a positive shift in your reputation and credibility.
  • Boards are like mini-organizations. It’s a place where you can shine and expand your leadership skills.
  • Your communication skills will dramatically improve.
  • You’ll get ideas for your own business and career.
  • You’ll find mentors and build political capital.
  • You’ll enjoy the fulfillment that comes from giving back to the community.

I’m happy to help you find the right fit for the right board for you. Give me a call or email.
