Board Recruitment Strategy

Project details

What we need

  • Outline of ideal board structure and opportunities for new roles
  • Candidate evaluation guide for prospective board members
  • Marketing tools and guidance on how to execute recruitment
  • Note: This project does not include actual board recruitment on the part of the Professional
Additional details

It would be nice to have someone familiar with the ecosystem in Atlanta.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a network, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a board, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $11,395 , allowing us to Raise money more efficiently, scale our organization, and create the most impact.

We currently have a board that has a great resume, but as they aren't local, they can only be so helpful. We wish to reframe our board to be more helpful for what we're doing now.
