The Board Connector brings together nonprofit organizations seeking new board members and community leaders who are seeking board service opportunities.
We would like to thank our corporate partners, CarMax and South State Bank, for bringing Board Connector to the Richmond region.
In keeping with the CDC recommendations, we have cancelled our Spring 2020 event that had previously been scheduled for March 25th. We look forward to hosting our next Board Connector in Fall 2020.
However, the need for civic engagement & good leadership continues. The following organizations, scheduled for our Spring 2020 event, are all actively seeking new board members.
