About Business on Board

Have you ever considered how serving on the board of a non-profit organization enhances your job skills while helping the community? Business professionals like you serve on the boards of hundreds of Boston-area arts and cultural organizations, and many more boards are in serious need of your services.

By serving on a non-profit board of directors, you learn to:

• Lead and influence people without having formal authority over them.
• Take risks at a level not necessarily open to you in your job.
• Discover multiple solutions to a problem.
• Resolve conflicts with other team members.
• Get opportunities to practice creative decision-making.
• Take an active part in the cultural life of the region.
• Work in a visible role with other community leaders.
