Rotary will be participating in OnBoard event on October 8th. All members are strongly encouraged to participate. Forty organizations are participating in this event, please represent Rotary in attending this free event at the Basketball Hall of Fame.
OnBoard is an all volunteer-led nonprofit whose mission it is to connect talented individuals with organizations seeking to increase diversity on their boards and committees by expanding their governance capacity and enlisting women, people of color and other under-represented populations.
We hold this event every two years to give potential board members an opportunity to meet with local organizations so that they can gain access and contribute to area Boards. So often Boards are challenged with recruiting beyond their immediate circle of influence and miss potentially great contributors who could help them fulfill and even expand their mission! If your interested as a nonprofit or as an attendee looking to become involved on a board, then please see below for registration on the website or via Eventbrite!
