The personal & professional benefits of serving on a Board of Directors
It is always important to seek new professional challenges to remain inspired by your work and to remind yourself why you love what you do. How better to satisfy your craving for change than to inspire change in others by serving on a non-profit board?
What are some of the primary benefits of serving on a not-for-profit board?
- Raise the profile of a near-and-dear organization, cause, and/or your profession as a whole
- Hone your leadership and project management skills as you do your part to guide the organization’s strategic decision making and direction
- Build your network, gain new perspective from outside of your workplace or discipline, and collaborate with other highly motivated professionals and industry peers
- Strengthen your resume by enhancing your business acumen
- Feel good for doing good: Embrace a new-found sense of purpose that comes from channelling your skills and expertise into something that benefits your community
